Apple Branded Over-Ear Headphones Found on Target Product Database

Apple could come out with its first over-the-ear headphones this year, according to placeholder listings in Target’s product database, spotted by YouTuber Jon Prosser. The listing, according to Prosser, show a product called ‘Apple AirPods (X Generation), with a listed price of $399. He further pointed out that there are three SKUs listed for the AirPods (X Generation), meaning that it might come in three different colours.

Reports of Apple-branded over-the-ear headphones have been doing the rounds since the past few years. In 2018, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had predicted that the headphones will be launched by the end of 2018. However, in June 2018, it was reported that they had been delayed following developmental challenges. More recently, Kuo had predicted that the Apple-branded headphones will launch in the first half of 2020.

Apple Insider cites Target staffers to claim that such placeholders listings are fairly common, and are usually an indication that products will ship within the month, or sometimes within a week’s time. While the names of these listings are generally inaccurate, but the pricing usually is.

Further, a $399 (roughly Rs. 28,600) price tag will make the headphones $150 (roughly Rs. 10,700) more expensive than its premium in-ear AirPods Pro. It, however, is close to competition in the market, with the likes of Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 and Sennheiser’s Momentum Wireless.

Now, although these will be the first Apple-branded over-ear headphones, the company has been selling headphones under its Beats brand since 2014. The Beats Solo Pro, the latest in the lineup, are going for $299 (roughly Rs. 21,400).

The headphones, if launched, will probably not be the only Apple product we could possibly see in the first half of this year. Kuo had predicted earlier that the company will launch its Apple Tags or AirTags trackers and a new low-cost 4.7-inch screen iPhone, touted to be the iPhone SE 2 or iPhone 9.

China sees app downloads surge in virus side-effect

NEW DELHI : Confined to their homes because of the coronavirus epidemic, millions of people in China are turning to mobile games and apps to break the monotony and to work as well, handing a surprise boost to app developers. China recorded 222 million downloads of various games and apps from Apple’s App Store since 2 February, according to app analytics firm App Annie. That was 40% more than the average weekly downloads in 2019, according to the company. While mobile games topped the list of downloads, there was also a significant increase in the download of apps related to education, entertainment, video and business. However, a similar spike in downloads of games and apps wasn’t seen in neighbouring countries such as South Korea and Japan, according to App Annie. Oliver Jones, co-founder and director of Bombay Play, a Bengaluru-based game developer, doesn’t find it surprising. “The most number of downloads and active usage occur during vacations, resulting in great monetizat

It seems if happiness had an Instagram account, it would look very similar to Jacqueline’s. But, is this instagrammed life, this joie de vivre, really real? Is it even possible for a girl living all alone so far away from her family and having such a highly-stressful job to be perpetually inside a happy bubble? I have always wondered. “It is not that I am consistently happy. I am consistently at peace with myself.” So, as the spunky actor plonks herself on the sofa wearing a casual white tee and black sweatpants, greeting me with her trademark smile and bouncy ponytail, I can’t help but ask her “Are you re
