Apple Doesn’t Repair AirPods. Here’s Why.

[@DalvinBrownWSJ]

What issues have you had with your AirPods?

[@JannesJustus]

My AirPods Pro (1. Gen) which are now about 21 months old definitely have worsened in battery life, but are still going pretty strong in that regard, so I can’t complain, though I would like to get myself the 2. Gen

[@triciac.5078]

They don’t fit well, especially in my left ear.

[@triciac.5078]

Also, my corded headphones still work 10 years later. So much less trash.

[@surojeetchatterji9966]

In India even LED bulbs gets repaired in local markets. Airpods will also get repaired once Indian technicians will have hands on this. By Changing the rechargeable small battery, airpod will work again.

My dog ate the right one

[@othang7210]

They have called for environmental protection (don't include charger along with phone) and they intentionally have designed unrepairable earpods. It is ironic and ridiculous 😂

[@aayanadeel4339]

its good buisness modleing

[@andrewlim300]

Apple is notorious for making their products unrepairable. They even go out of their way to block parts for repair shops to aquire. The reason is profits, they want you to purchase new airpods. It is not hard to design a earbud that can have the battery replaced without the complete destruction of the product, they just choose not to.

[@plok9408]

This video would have been a lot more useful if repairability of airpods was compared with its competitors or possibly shed light on companies trying to address the issue, so that you can answer the question: is this problem inherent to wireless earbuds or just apple design?

[@vinaywadhwa99]

Samsung Galaxy Buds got a pretty high Repairability score. So it's just Apple Evil thing.

[@kathyledesma6773]

These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. kzbin.infoUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.

My AirPod pro 2 were bad right out of the box. Unfortunately we never opened the box to use them for a year as we already had a pair and these were a gift. The left earbud would not hold a charge and would only go to about 60% and then drop below 50 within 15 minutes and disconnect. The right worked fine as well as the case fully charging. Unfortunately Apple says out of warranty so sorry for your luck. Also tried everything to get firmware to update and no go on that

[@Valeriy7D0]

Watching this just after my first (and succesfull) repair of Air Pods Pro A2083. Btw, did you know that left and right airpod uses DIFFERENT battery? No kidding. I'm not a professional repair master, just an ordinary IT nerd with some diy electronics experience, but I have to say, this repair was hard! Replaced the battery and the speaker, because the left one started to sound wired and without the bass. Unfortunately, even you use a special holder device and didn't screw up with smth inside, it's nearly impossible not to damage the exterior. Glue was not an issue at all. If you gonna try this yourself, pay attention to battery polarity and don't fix the device too tight in the holder. Also, UV glue might be helpful. I decided to repair them in the first place because my wife preferred to have the old Air Pods fixed instead of buying new ones, and this inspired me. I hope the result will be not very bad and she will be glad. And if you're still reading this boring stuff, stranger, I'd like to thank you and to wish you a pleasant and a very happy day!

[@roger3958]

I somehow managed to break the plastic tip underneath the rubber tip on my airpod pro 1. Now I'm trying to figure out how to fix.... :(

[@Pete-da-peter]

No worries ppl. If your airpod not working, you can always buy another one for $199.99

[@ags911]

That’s the whole point. Unlimited profit.

[@nareshsaklecha]

You didn't need a 5 minute video to explain that it's because of the glue. Man.:(

[@mozneda]

it baffles me that this guy doesn't have more views and subscribers.. .

[@FN-1969]

I sent my AirPod pros in with AppleCare. And they are ordering a part. That was 2 days ago. It says We’ve ordered a new part that’s required to complete the repair. My repair is on hold since Tuesday. So guessing they are actually repairing mine instead of sending me a replacement pair. Weird.

[@kathyledesma6773]

Updating firmware battery works better

[@muhammed5667]

Great presentation!

[@LowkeyCat]

i tore that part off by accident tryna replace the ear tip piece lmaoo. i closed it back and it worked fine for months now it’s not working😭😭😂

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

Apple could design these with a replaceable cell. It is a design scheme.

[@ivanwen8335]

Agree, there are other more complex things out there, that can be repaired. Airpods were just being designed that way.

[@gayIMEANGRAY]

the most ironic thing is that i’m watching this video with only a right airpod because the left speaker is busted

[@0kayegs577]

Everything is repairable, well everything except for an apple users spine

[@PuffOfSmoke]

It's all about money, money, money. They want you to continue to buy, buy, buy..😂

[@BLACK-TAR-FENT]

THEY FIXED MY AIRPOD MAX

[@CyberTranceHero69]

Only I phone I've owned was a free one.

[@gregorybruce2963]

Called Apple. Sent back my AirPods for repair. They sent text that they received them and are being Be assessed. One minute later they said they have been repaired and a few minutes later another text saying they have been shipped out. So waiting to see if they repaired in less than a minute or did they replace 😂

[@AbhishekChauhan-el5sf]

What was it finally?

[@darrienrusseleangeles4255]

Nah. REWA has a tutorial on how to replace airpods.

[@rsinghal]

That's the same reason I don't buy them in first place as they cannot be repaires at all.

[@golong1343]

Wow! a bud light vibe.

[@f1sh98]

Lmao

[@codycast]

Huh?

[@hammadjaved4952]

Bro go watch some chinese repair guys. They’re doing it since 2021. And now even i am doing the repairs

[@AB034TX]

Right to repair should be a real thing. Once we pay for something we should feel like owners and not renters.

[@Tyranosaurus_Xer]

Im not expert at repair thing, i just replace battery for my airpods 2 yesterday, just with hand solder and heat gun.... well ifixit sucks

[@RaMim-lg7kl]

I can promote your channel

[@korona277]

Wtf is boat?

[@tudorgt]

You guys are so soft and sweet with apple you might just as well be one company 🥴🤢

[@willk49]

Sad that Apple went from imagining what could be to consumers driving the demand for products

[@BotLostHero]

It's cheaper to send you $5 headphones than to hire someone to fix them when you buy them for $100😅 fools

[@United_Wings]

GG
