But I guess magical colors are far more important
I'm a stickler. I recognize all of the benefits of having AirPods but I refuse to get them until they come out in black. And there's no way I'm paying a markup for 3rd party company to paint them black.
I can't think of any logical reason as to why Apple hasn't come out with black AirPods yet. Not only will more people buy them, some people will buy multiple pairs of AirPods in different colors. It's easy money for Apple.
AirPods are not in the same category as EarPods. EarPods were a cheap accessory that needed to accompany the more important devices Apple wanted to sell. There was never a market for EarPods. They were just cheap headphones Apple included in the box of whatever devices you purchase.
AirPods are legitimate product unto themselves. This will become even more apparent as AirPods add more features.
Plus, there are already plenty of competing wireless earbuds as well as copycat/fake AirPods. Sure, when AirPods came out, there were only popular wireless earbud solution. It made sense for Apple to keep them white as symbol and selling point. But I'd argue that it no longer holds the value it once had. Just having a white wireless device doesn't automatically mean that everyone else will think you're wearing AirPods.
