Carl Pei accuses an unnamed ear (1) competitor of attacking Nothing’s supply chain
Nothing received orders for 320,000 units of its ear (1) true wireless earbuds
The executive notes that Nothing had orders for 320,000 ear (1) units and shipped 180,000. The total forecast, Pei says, is that the firm will ship 600,000 units. To put that in context, he points out that the first iPod sold 400,000 units in its first year back in 2002. By 2008, shipments peaked at 54.8 million units. If Carl is thinking that subsequent ear (1) shipments are going to progress along those lines, that’s really optimistic thinking since the iPod and the ear (1) really can’t be compared to each other.
Pei thanks his Nothing’s community, team, and investors. To the latter, he points out that taking a chance and betting on the company was a huge leap of faith, especially considering how secretive the company was with its plans.
Pei wrapped up his blog post by writing, “Overall, this year has been a blast. It’s been unbelievably rewarding to watch our vision gradually come to life. Many people think we’re an audio or headphone company, and I think that’s great. We’re like an ice-berg that’s slowly emerging to the surface, and we look forward to unveiling more of our vision in year (2).”
A tipster says that Nothing is working on a smartphone for a release in 2022
You really can’t bet against Carl Pei. He turned OnePlus into a relevant smartphone brand in a tough industry. And he started a new company from scratch, developed a new product, and shipped it during a pandemic. Furthermore, he had to deal with a competitor that was trying to sink the ear (1) by mucking up Nothing’s supply chain. Frankly, we’d be quite interested in seeing what kind of phone Nothing might develop.
