Apple purchase iMuff maker – preparing wireless phones?

According to the latest rumours circulating, it appears Apple have purchased Wi-Gear, the company responsible for the iMuffs range of Bluetooth headphones designed for the iPod and iPhone.

These rumors were leaked to us in Taipei last night and another source who spoke to 9to5 Mac appears to have said the same thing. This appears to be a move for Apple to produce their own stereo Bluetooth Headphones for iPads, MacBooks and iPhones. The Wi-Gear website shows that the company have stopped operating, confirming a move.

The iMuff headphones get a good reputation in the industry, combined a reasonable price point with strong levels of sound quality.

Apple have purchased many small, innovative companies for reasonable costs over the years. Picking good talent and using them to expand their portfolio.

KitGuru says: No information on upcoming products has yet leaked, but KitGuru will keep you posted.
