Is it a good time to purchase AirPods, or is it possible they could see a refresh at a March event? At this point in the cycle, I'm not sure if I should keep waiting or go grab them now. Any thoughts?
There is not a single rumor about an updated version.
And they have been in short supply since launch, and just now are they able to meet the demand. So they can easily milk the market until 2019.
They have been in very short supply (see e.g. https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/27/airpods-shipping-estimates-3-to-5-business-days/ if you don't trust me). I have seen the same thing in my country.Short supply? I can walk into any Apple store or Walmart and get them. I see them all the time
said their wireless charging case to the AirPods will come in December for $69.
If AirPods in december will come with the new case, then that may be a good time to wait.
But I wouldn't be surprised if it will only be sold separately.
