If you thought your clumsy friend was bad at fixing things, meet the new AirPods Pro. iFixit has once again slapped a big fat 0/10 repairability score on them. Yep, you heard that right—*zero*.
These sleek little earpieces come packed with glued-in components that are trickier to access than a well-guarded government secret. Want to replace a battery? Think again! You might as well be trying to teach calculus to a goldfish. iFixit’s criticisms resonate with an echo of despair, mirroring their past critiques of both the original AirPods Pro and even the very first model.
Apple, it seems, is still in the mindset that “what you don’t know won’t hurt you,” except, of course, for the rapidly dying battery that you will need to give up on entirely. So, the next time you find yourself struggling to fix a set of earbuds, just remember: sometimes it’s not you—it’s the cleverly designed unfixability of tech.
Does this mean we should just accept defeat? Or is the real battle here between our wallets and Apple’s relentless pursuit of all things unrepairable?
