Apple's AirPods Pro 3 Slammed for Poor Repairability
Apple's latest AirPods Pro 3 have been criticized for their poor repairability. The wireless earbuds scored a dismal 0 out of 10 from repair experts iFixit, making them virtually impossible to fix. iFixit's teardown revealed that Apple's design makes repair or replacement of key components, such as the battery, extremely difficult. Critical flex cables are routed through solder points and glued channels, making reassembly near impossible without causing damage. Even the iPhone 14, which has seen improvements in repairability, scored higher than the AirPods Pro 3. This suggests that Apple's design philosophy for its earbuds is geared towards disposability rather than longevity. An alternative, Fairbuds, offers a repairable option with replaceable batteries. Retailing at £129, they provide a more sustainable choice for consumers. The unrepairable nature of the AirPods Pro 3 raises concerns about e-waste and the environmental impact of disposable electronics. Consumers seeking durable, repairable options may want to consider alternatives like Fairbuds.
