The AirPods is the most popular item on Black Friday in 2019, which makes sense, because Amazon's sharp price reduction to such a low level seems to be a mistake. There is a rumor, a charming and interesting rumor. Digitimes reports that Apple is considering bundling its popular AirPods with iPhone 12 next year. The history of Digitimes's rumors about Apple is somewhat uneven, so you must praise the story a lot.

Interestingly, the report adds that other smartphone makers are also considering bundling wireless earplugs with devices next year.

Interesting as the report is, we can't bet that it will come true. Next year, with the release of the 5G iPhone, Apple doesn't need much help in boosting iPhone sales. Recall that Apple expects to sell 200m iPhone 12 devices next year, up from a previous forecast of 175 million. In this case, what will Apple gain by bundling the AirPods (retail price: $159s) with each new iPhone?

What's more, with the unprecedented popularity of AirPods, why did Apple start to provide consumers with problem-free products?

Of course, Apple can raise the price of the iPhone accordingly, but why would Apple do anything that might adversely affect iPhone sales? In addition, Apple has not become the most profitable company in history by giving away products that consumers are eager and willing to pay for.

In a word, the rumor seems to be untenable. The only possibility is that Apple may bundle the AirPods with the iPhone 12 Pro model, which in itself may only be a small part.

Apple has been touting the future of wireless. While it is certainly possible to bundle AirPods with a new iPhone in the next few years, it seems unlikely that we will see it in 2020.
