During the launch event, the company announced the availability of AirPods in India towards late October. According to tech analysts, there is some kind of uncertainty as to when the Apple AirPods will be available in India.

Apple AirPods Specifications

On the specifications front, the Apple AirPods feature a new W1 wireless processor. The main highlight of the chip is that it enables you to quickly pair and establish connectivity with the iPhone. If you look at the format of the AirPods, they are completely wire-free.

Equipped with dual optical sensors, the Apple AirPods ship with accelerometers in each ear bud. The buds work in tandem with the W1 chip, which will have an ability to detect when the wireless headphones are in your ears. Moreover, they will play only when you listen to it. If you double tap the AirPods, you can activate Siri. Moreover, the microphones integrated into the AirPods are designed to filter out external sound.
