And with pre-orders on Apple's website only shipping in 2017, iPhone lovers are desperate to get their hands on a pair before Christmas.

But crafty customers who pre-ordered the earphones – a must for the iPhone 7 – are now selling them for an absolute goldmine.

At £159-a-pop they were already pretty pricey.

But if you want to nab a pair before Christmas you’ll be paying over £400 – plus postage and packaging.

In one instance, a savvy shopper gleefully posted on eBay: “Happy bidding” as they listed the earphones bid for £399.99.

They added: “The long awaited Apple AirPods are here, and now quickly backordered [sic] on the Apple website.

“However, you can get these before Christmas and delivered by the 24th December if immediate payment is made.”

Apple’s limited stock meant that in some cases, people queuing in line weren’t able to nab a pair this week.

And it seems eBay is the only place.

The wireless earbuds pair instantly with Apple products and are likely an absolute nightmare to find in your bag.

The Airpods last five hours after charging and can be used independently in case you break or lose another.

They come with a year’s warranty but if you need to replace them you’ll be forking out again.

Each separate Airpod costs £65 to replace.
