Disposable, shmisposable, Apple's 'AirPods for Christmas' sales hit peak iPod
Recently, a Piper Jaffrey survey pegged the most favorite outlay of gratitude this holiday season to be… Apple’s AirPods. Along with Nike, Apple’s brand is a pretty predictable winner in the teen demographic, but last year the meme “Airpods for Christmas” was trending, too.
That statistic alone is pretty staggering, as Apple was known at the time as “the iPod company” and even stopped calling itself Apple Computer as a result of the runaway success of its music player.
To know that a single, almost obligatory to have “hearable” is now hauling in more than what the iPod hauled for Apple at its most popular, is pretty staggering. Long story short, if your teen isn’t giving you easy clues what they’d most like as a present, those would be $160-$250 well-spent.
