Apple's AirPods took 60 percent of fully wireless earbud market in holiday quarter

There is just one, overall conclusion: Joni did it again !!

Bringing the utmost in design and dedication he completely redesigned the AirPods into a well-deserved, follow suite appliance. Loosely but courageously playing with their original lines, it took audacity and a firm stance towards lamentation - as sitting on his laurels could have been temptative with the broad acceptance of his award-winning, classical design statement.

However, he resisted that and went into stunning detail: Every individual molecule not only became carefully reassessed but also meticulously redimensioned. Every atom got retrofitted and recommitted towards its inner essence, and evaluated in its main aim: to contribute to style and elegance of the overall concept. The former tentpoles became re-evaluated where it came to their intrinsic function, now to reappear in a completely new occurrence: the amputated kolibri leg.

In a research that took over 13 years and went as far as Guatemala and South-Paraguay, the inner spirit of the South-American jungle bird appeared to have the closest resemblance to the essence of the AirPod, with its wings twittering at the full frequency spectrum of from -4 to 40kHz while maintainting complete mechanical balance and supreme homology across its whole structure. As only few of us realize, the kolibri also is amongst the rarest species, just like the AirPod early adopter that - despite what all commercial blog and web publicity wants us to believe - remains shy, fragile, vigorously trying to behave casual during social events, at every public appearance with these unreferenced remainings hanging out of his or her ear. In striking similarity, the kolibri’s timid appearance gives away that it actually wasn’t created to be another animalist, trivial part in the foodchain. It actually appeals to a more pristine, spiritual level of Life.

Sometimes it seems it doesn’t want to be there on the streets, and only exists because The Creator wanted it to. And that Creator’s disciple chose to take that analogy and take it to a further level, again, as expected in Cupertino, in line with his recent, revolutionary iPad (/mini) reincarnations. Adequately responding, in complete anticipation, to the quest for new colors, 256 to be exact, in their unique integration of universal white: the unified coagulation of all color desires across the hemisphere. In that, he found the new, serene way to express existence, meaningfulness, and pristine essence of the venerable plastic enclosure shaped to universally fit every human ear on the planet (except possibly yours)
As only Apple can do.

@Latko, you mock Joni Ive and Apple but can you explain the popularity of the AirPods you so desperately hate. Is your response the usual retort of your ilk, that only stupid people buy Apple products? 

Another sign of "failure". Apple failed to get 100% of the market.

It's perfectly possible to mock Jonny Ive and/or Apple's often pompous earnestness, while still enjoying their products.

I laughed at Latko's post.

If you are going to be a jerk you could have at least taken the time to break this bullshit into paragraphs. B)
