October’s big Kickstarter drive was for the PUGZ earphones, which were going to be the world’s smallest wireless headphones.
After $1.5m was raised, backers are furious with a message telling them they’ll not be arriving, with the blame placed on Apple.
The PUGZ were supposed to use Apple’s MFI (Made For iPhone) system that charges on the go. As Apple won’t grant PUGZ permission to use this tech so they’re going back to the drawing board.
10,000 backers are now in the lurch, awaiting further updates.
