According to the GSMArena news agency , and according to  informed people who did not want to be named, MediaTek has  recently entered the supply chain of Apple headphones. Apple is known as the owner of Beats and the company’s headphone factories, and has apparently decided to outsource the supply of some parts of Beats headphones to MediaTek. This is the first time MediaTek has entered Apple’s supply chain; At the moment, of course, we do not know exactly which of the Bates headphone parts the Chinese company produces.

Market watchers believe that the first orders registered in MediaTek will be delivered to Apple between February (February and March 2016) and March (March 2015 and April 1400). Apple has recently removed headphones from the iPhone family box; Nevertheless, it is still trying to expand its family of dedicated headphones and Bates headphones. 

It is estimated that Apple will sell about 200 million iPhones this year. Those who have just bought an iPhone are likely to get headphones, too, and this is where Bates headphones come into play.
