What are the odds they just cancel the product? I haven't seen much excitement for them (since they're pricey and can be so easily lost), and if they're having trouble making them, I could see them just cancelling them and going back to the drawing board.

  All iPhone 7 units ship with earphones and an adapter.

On the contrary, at least on the Twitter echo chamber I watch, these are much-anticipated. I'd wager they'll be in short supply for a while.

  I personally like the idea, if not the implementation. I'd buy a pair tomorrow if they were made by someone like Etymotic, but I've always found the comfort level of Apple earphones to be something akin to trying to wedge a spoon in my ear, with related levels of acoustic isolation.

I'm looking forward to them. They're on-par price-wise with similar products and I don't think they'll be that easily lost as I'm likely to keep the case with me.

I'd guess very very low, but I'm not sure. I think they are barging ahead with a wireless future, evidenced by the lack of headphone port on iPhone7 and iPhone7+. If they drop the AirPods that were supposed to make the iPhone 7 such a pleasure to use, they're abandoning a major selling point from their most recent keynote.

  3D Touch does not seem to be gaining much traction.

    I don't know what that has to do with wireless, but I'm new to iPhone, so I might be missing something. Regardless, I think a lot of people love 3D touch, and it shows in /r/iPhone. The problem (especially because I'm new to iPhone) is that it is very hard to predict what it will do and which apps have made use and where. That will take time to stabilize (as right-click has) and become the norm, I suspect.

Pricey? They are by far the least expensive wireless 2-ear headphones you can buy outside of some no-name alibaba ones with 1-2 hour battery life. On top of the price, you're getting almost 2x the battery life of the Samsungs, seamless multi-device paring, beam-forming microphones aided by motion sensors to only turn on when your jaw is moving, etc etc... I think you may have a bit of an echo chamber problem if you don't think anyone is waiting for these...

  The jaybird X2's run half that price now.

I'd say minimal for the fact that the new iPhones don't have a headphone socket alone.

I don't think they can. They can't exactly leave iPhone7 users without a way to listen to music.

  How's that? The iPhone 7 includes Lightning EarPods, Lightning-3.5mm adapter, and works with any other Bluetooth earphones.
