> Is there some type of battery technology out there that would be better? I think the argument is yes, there is - end user replaceable battery.

  And since most of the mass of the AirPod + case is the battery, how is it really helping with the environment if the battery is the most toxic part?

    It's much more ecological to recycle a battery than to recycle a 100% working product because the internal battery died.
    • scarface74 7y ago
      When more than 50% of the mass is the battery?

        Yes, as then the whole product doesn't have to be produced from scratch - just the battery.
