However, Kuo specifies that these dates have not changed 48 hours after the opening of reservations, signifying a drop in demand after the first enthusiasts rushed to the product. For comparison, the new iPhones are being snapped up just as quickly, but delivery dates continue to change several days later, indicating demand that is not weakening.

According to Kuo, Apple will manage to sell at least 500,000 of its helmets this year (far from the 1 million predicted by others) but questions the popularity of the product, knowing that it is aimed at a niche audience.
