Also, at 4:31 pm on April 15th, I posted a tweet saying that the new wireless earphones will be announced on April 20th.
In the notice tweet of the wireless earphone, an image that seems to be a part of the new wireless earphone is posted on a white background.

Huawei sells the MatePad series of tablets and the FreeBuds series of wireless earphones, and it is estimated that new products of both series will be announced on April 20th.
Is it against Apple?
Apple has announced that it will hold a special event “Spring Loaded” from 2:00 am on April 21, Japan time before dawn on April 14, Japan time, and it is expected that a new iPad Pro etc. will be announced.
Huawei’s announcement date and new product announcement date are very close to Apple’s Spring Loaded announcement date, and it seems that it is possible that the announcement date was decided against Apple.
Huawei is subject to economic sanctions by the United States, so there is concern that it will run out of chips.
In 2020, although business performance was strong in China, profits in the United States declined significantly. It seems that the US sanctions have also affected the adoption of Huawei’s own app store instead of Google Play.
