Vratislav Holub Apple's AirPods have been with us for almost five years. During this time, the product was able to win the sympathy of a wide range of apple growers, who were able to fascinate them mainly due to the excellent connection with the apple ecosystem. In addition, AirPods are constantly being talked about as a bestseller. But now it seems that enthusiasm for the product is starting to wane, which is what the portal is now talking about Nikkei Asia citing its apple supply chain resources.

According to their information, sales of AirPods fell by 25 to 30 percent. The aforementioned sources told the portal that Apple currently expects 75 to 85 million units sold for 2021, which is a significantly lower number compared to the original prediction. Originally, roughly 110 million pieces were expected. This change therefore points to a considerably reduced demand and interest on the part of apple growers. In any case, a similar move could easily have been expected.

This decline is allegedly due to the ever more popular wireless headphones from competing manufacturers.

Apple still maintains its dominant position in the so-called True Wireless headphone market, despite the fact that its market share has been declining in recent months. This follows from the portal's claims Counterpoint, who claimed in January 2021 that over the past 9 months, "apple market share" had fallen from 41 percent to 29 percent. Even so, this is more than double the share of Xiaomi, which holds the second position in this market. Third place belongs to Samsung with a 5% share.
