same... now if only i could easily replace the batteries, it would be almost perfect (they just die on me mid-call sometimes)
- timbargo 4y agoThere are services like this where you can exchange your Airpods for ones with replaced batteries! Note that I've never done it and can't vouch for the quality. I just read about it on HN once. https://www.theswapclub.com/collections/airpod-swaps https://www.theswapclub.com/collections/airpod-swaps

- vladvasiliu 4y agoThat's an interesting question, and I'd like an honest answer to that. We've heard the same argument about phones, and my old Galaxy S5 with a user-replaceable battery was a whopping 0.5 mm thicker than an iPhone 13 mini. That's the width of a mechanical pencil lead.
