Also, good enough is good enough. If the battery lasts about 2 years people want the next model anyway.

  I'm not sure I would have bought AirPods if I knew ahead of time that the battery would die in less than two years and replacing them costs as much as getting new Airpods.

    You weren’t aware the batteries were not replaceable?

      That is not what they said. It's one thing to have non-replaceable batteries, it's another to have batteries that only last two years or less - generally the size (in milliamp hours) of the battery is what determines its life, so the battery is sized to coincide with the release of new models. If you're fine with that sort of planned obsolescence, cool.

        That’s not what I said either. I said batteries that last as long as the user wants to use the device before they replace it are good enough. Not that they actually die by then. My AirPods are almost two years old, I use them every day and they are still going fine.
