To see Apple’s new earbuds out on the inside – Tek.en

After a rather long delay, came Apple’s wireless earbuds Airpods finally on the market, and as it should be with the new products, the website iFixit, which specializes in thorough duppeditt-disassembly, gjøvet loose on the product.

considering that Apple’s products are not generally moreover simple to repair, and that the Airpods in addition, the category of compact electronic products, there may come not as a surprise that the Airpods got 0 of 10 points on iFixits so-called “reparérbarhetsskala”.

Lots of glue

Whether or not the earbuds are harder to take apart and fix than other earbuds that are on the market should be left unsaid. The iFixit no matter noted was that the plugs uses large amounts of glue, and that, therefore, it is impossible to open the plugs without destroying the cover.

This, in combination with the fact that the plugs are bidding on very densely packed electronics on the inside, did that iFixit klasket to with the term “reparasjonsmareritt” in its description of the earbuds.

– If it is to cram complex components into a small form factor and seal it with kopiøse amounts of glue was a game, would Apple have won, writes iFixit in a relatively descriptive comment.

All the details from the Airpods-dissekeringen you can find at iFixit, and the site made this time also a video which you can see below.
