Airpods are insanely small and the outside casing is pretty much a single piece of plastic. I am all for right to repair, but it does not seem feasible or reasonable for AirPods - they’d have to be bulkier.
- Gigachad 5y agoThe airpods in entirety would be less waste than the packaging most spare parts come wrapped in. It just feels worse because they cost a lot more than a plastic foam pack your steak comes in.
- delecti 5y ago> they’d have to be bulkier Then make them bulkier. What's worse, filling the planet with garbage, or a few industrial designers having slightly less impressive portfolios?
- ChicagoBoy11 5y agoThat's entirely fair, but the issue is the demand for the less bulky bluetooth headset isn't there. To think that this will be solved from the supply-side is wishful thinking at best; if folks really demanded repairable headsets, the supply would take care of itself.
- DoingIsLearning 5y agoI mean there was no demand for more expensive unleaded fuel but we still regulated leaded fuel out of existence. What consumers want and what is needed for the environment is not always aligned. Consumer demand is not a very good guiding principle for environmental protection.

- Gigachad 5y agoIt's actually pretty bad for the airpods. The gen 3 airpods are bulkier than the 1 and 2 which now means they don't stay in my ears nearly as well. I never had issues with the originals falling out which I now do with the gen 3.
