Hordes of downtrodden folk took to Twitter after Christmas to express an extremely important injustice: that they had received 'fake AirPods' for Christmas instead of the genuine Apple version.
The then-new Apple AirPods are shown during an event to announce new Apple products on Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016, in San Francisco. TORONTO -- As kids, teens and young adults alike tackled wrapping paper Christmas morning, many had only one thought on their minds: is this the year I finally get those AirPods I asked for?
For a lot of people, it seems that answer is no. But the worst part? The biggest injustice, they say?AirPods are Apple’s wireless earbuds, which boast up to five hours of listening time, according to the tech giant’s website. They also cost CAD$219. And that’s just for the basic model. For another $100, you can get the AirPods Pro, which are sweat- and water-resistant and have a customizable fit.
This holiday season, parents looking to cut corners -- and avoid buying a teenager who can’t even remember to clean their room an extremely expensive tech device they will likely lose in a week -- found every other alternative to fill the brief of a) earbuds, b) without wires.The disappointment is real. So real that numerous downtrodden, heinously wronged folk took to Twitter to express their despair.
