About AirPods 5
AirPods 5 are Apple's fifth-generation open-ear wireless earbuds, announced September 9 2026 at $129 with a USB-C case and $149 with a Wireless Charging Case, with stores opening September 18 after pre-orders that began the day of the announcement according to Apple Newsroom.
Apple Newsroom says the buds use a multiport acoustic architecture and next-generation Adaptive EQ, and that open-ear ANC removes up to 50 percent more external noise than AirPods 4 with ANC. The $149 case adds stem volume swipe, up to five hours of playback with ANC, and up to 22 hours with the case. SoundGuys, in a September 22 2026 review, listed IP57 dust and water resistance, the H2 chip, Bluetooth 5.3, and a 4 hour / 20 hour rating on the $129 model. MacRumors on August 18 2026 spotted internal names B868M and B868E in macOS 26.7. iPhone 18 is the other Apple hardware query on this site.

Why the page charts Google Shopping
A product people buy after stores open should be checked on shopping first, and Google Shopping for this keyword is the series that still clears 25 percent over 30 days with a readable climb from 4 on August 1 to 100 on September 19 and a still-elevated 55 on October 3.
That source printed 55 on October 3, down 26.67% from 75 over 7 days and up 139.13% from 23 over 30 days, with last-52 week-over-week sample standard deviation 79.54% on the non-zero-baseline weeks. Google Search for the same keyword is 61 on October 3, down 23.75% from 80 over 7 days and up 258.82% from 17 over 30 days. Search still clears the 30-day bar, but the page stays on shopping because that is where buy intent lives. Same-day Google Shopping neighbors: airpods 35 (-2.78% over 30 days from 36), airpods pro 3 46 (-14.81% from 54), iphone 18 41 (+272.73% from 11), apple watch 17 (-15.0% from 20). Hardware context: Apple Watch.
get_time_series with source google shopping and the stored keyword is the call behind the chart: 260 weekly points from 2021-10-16 through 2026-10-03, stored as {date, value} with no smoothing. get_growth on the same pair, windows 7D, 30D, and 1Y, is the headline math: 75 to 55 (-26.67%), 23 to 55 (+139.13%), and 0 to 55. Mixing the Search 61 with the Shopping 55 would invent a story the APIs do not tell.
