Apple unveiled the first AirPods on September 7, 2016, meaning the iconic wireless headphones are now 10 years old. However, the AirPods did not launch until December that year.
On the same day, Apple ignited controversy when it introduced the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus without a headphone jack. Apple still sells EarPods for customers who want wired headphones, with 3.5mm headphone jack, Lightning, and USB-C versions available for use with a wide variety of devices.
