Airpods delay?

[unashamedgeek]

Just a note that IsInStock didn't work for me with AT&T. They kept notifying me that Verizon had them in stock, but they weren't there. However, I found them on AT&T's site on Tuesday night and they are out for delivery now. I just checked and it looks like they are still in stock at AT&T.

Still delays. Not in stores until May 1 according to Apple's website.

If they were even in store on 1 May, they're gone now. Where on the site do you find projected in store ETAs?

I gave up trolling the stores near me and ordered from Apple today. The site says 6 weeks/June 26. I'm hoping it'll be sooner but I doubt it will be by much.

I'd have ordered from ATT but they don't deliver to POBs. I have an order in with someone else, and if that comes in (which I doubt) the Apple Store order will be cancelled.

I'm still curious as to why, after all this time there's such a lengthy delay.

1) Unable to keep up with unexpected demand?

2) Low yield?

3) Manufacturing resources pulled to work on new Mac Pro? (A joke, son, a joke.)

Not sure what the issue is. I mean I've seen one pair outside of an Apple Store, that's it.
