Apple AirPods Teardown: iFixit Says It Might Be Impossible To Repair

The recent iPhone 7 has had its own share of controversial issues and one of which is the missing audio jack. Because of this, the only way for the user to hear music is to buy a separate device, which by the way, is as expensive as the smartphone. Apple AirPods, which cost around £159 in the UK, has faced several concerns.

Aside from its costly amount, its release has been delayed for more than a couple of months since iPhone 7 hit the market officially. But now that it has finally arrived, another question is seeking for an answer.

"Is it repairable?To give an answer, the folks from iFixit decided to break the Apple AirPods not only to find out whether it can be fixed or not but also to know what's inside the odd yet impressive tech. Unfortunately, just like the other irreparable Apple products, the wireless headphone is almost impossible to repair. (via TechTimes).

Given the long wait for its release, the phenomenal Apple AirPods remain poorly built and too difficult to repair. It also goes against what Apple stands because it cannot be recycled. iFixit even added that there is evidence that the product was rushed.

This is because of the voids created in the "soldering" which is not really big deal, however, it is something that Steve Jobs would surely not allow if he was still alive.

Although there is a slight chance to have it fixed, iPhone 7 users can opt for another option which is to bypass the whole and instead, buying the 3.5 mm adapter and use any regular headphone.

Or, opt back for the disposable Apple AirPods, pray hard that it would not get lost or break, or else, pay for another $69 for Apple service. The price is almost like buying a new pair so owners should really take extra amount of care.
