- zeristor 5y agoI had my Air Pods Pro replaced for free due to a Apple recall for all those bought before October 2020 and having some bad sound issues. Rechargable batteries are still consumables, perhaps with smarter charging and new battery chemisty their lives can be eeked out for longer, however the electronics also need to be robust. I assume devices are designed with a mean time before failure, and it is no easy to ask to to diagnose and surface mounted components.
- ziml77 5y agoHow worried should we be about rechargeable batteries being consumable? Alkaline batteries are also consumable and for powerful devices they need to be replaced much, much more often than rechargeable batteries.
