I wonder if this explains / clarifies some of the difficulty in getting repair tech for the earbuds. They seem to change in major ways each time.

- walrus01 5y agoeven if you could get repair parts they're assembled with strong glue (search youtube for airpod teardown), making it pretty much impossible to disassemble without destroying it.
- Tagbert 5y agoMuch of the repair problems has to do with how small they are and the components are tiny and must be assembled so carefully that humans with fingers are just not at the right scale.
- passivate 5y agoBut we've made tools to overcome human limitations, so that is not really the issue. Apple just doesn't want their products repaired - or at the very least it is not a priority for them. Its just not a good look when they pretend to be "green" while not contributing towards the elephant in the garbage bin - e-waste.
