I think they will stop doing that, as soon as they go portless in near future... apple users will just get a phone and maybe wireless charger with the first generation, after that just the phone.

I don't like airpods or apple, at all, but it's not about not wanting you in there, they were designed to be small, water resistant in general just convenient, although I am sure apple likes the side effect of those not being repairable.. if they were, apple would for sure soft block these on their phones, when a non genuine part² is detected. __ ²apple works very hard to make sure their spare parts are not provided to everyone not authorized for repairs and even if authorized you still need proof that you are ordering the part to fix a phone, not resell the part. I have replaced the battery in someones iphone 6s, and while it was easy, that has disabled touchid.. which makes zero sense, as the touch id was never touched, it's just apple being assholes as they are.

You are definitely doing the right thing for those customers. I could see if the repair could be done without damaging any plastic and for around $50-$80, it might be worth it to some people. I just bought the 3rd gens with the applecare plan and I get so much use out of them that I wouldn't even care if they broke right outside of the 2 year applecare plan, I would just buy another.

I’ve done this 4 times on different airpods 1. Out of the 4 only one made it out without any plastic damage. They’re all still working btw and the battery replacement is worth it.

Major props for trying this repair. Love watching your videos. Keep up the good work 👍

These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. kzread.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.

These were designed just for convenience, everything was sacrificed for that, including the sound quality(compared to other bt earbuds these sound like crap).

The fact you compacted this into 7 minutes and it was still well paced is sub worthy! (I thought I was already subbed lel)

Watching you struggle with the AirPod case was like watching other repairmen struggle with iPhones which you can probably fix with your eyes closed.

it's only way to do it with something this small made for convenience. This is probably why they bothered to make it so water resistant because if it was not water resistant and liquid got inside, they cannot open them to inspect for stickers turning red, at least not without destroying them, so they would have to replace more pairs for free.

Wow, I had never seen an airpods repair video, and I definitely see why now. I see a lot of people saying that it should be more repairable in the comments.

What could could realistically be done to make the airpods easier to work with while preserving these qualities? Great video btw!:)

The insert pops out much easier when you soak some isopropyl alcohol into the joint, it softens the adhesive spots on the clips, you need it for the battery adhesive in any case.
