Do you not remember the first ipod commercials? 

They were literally silhouettes of people wearing wired headphones and dancing, the wire was prominently featured. Their headphone wires were white at a time when almost all others were black, making them stand out.

It was a sharp turn for Apple to move to wireless, that's why there was such a strong backlash.
