The AirPods Apple are de-boned by iFixit which gives them the worst note
AirPods have been unveiled by Apple during the keynote special held by the group at the beginning of September for the presentation of the iPhone 7, and which appear, therefore, to the price of 179 euros on the website of the american giant. Headphones that connect without any cable to the smartphone, but who do not have the slightest wire connection between them. They can also be sold by the unit, for the price of 69 dollars, which appears expensive, according to many sources. the iFixit is quick to reverse engineer, and just awarded the low score of 0/10 !
iFixit assigns a very low score of 0/10 for the AirPods Apple
iFixit hastened to reverse-engineer new products, High-Tech that come out on the market and what are the AirPods from Apple that come in to be dismantled, not without some difficulty. The report from iFixit is scathing, the headphones from Apple are not recyclable and repairable. As usual, iFixit assigns a grade of reparability the hardware de-boned. The headphones from Apple are not up to the expectations, as was the case for the iPhone 7, also de-boned and had received a score of 7/10 after 26 stages of disassembly.
It appeared that the AirPods are very difficult to be dismantled, that it is almost impossible to change the battery and they are poorly manufactured. The teams at iFixit have been forced to use a knife blade to be able to open the headphones. Simple to take in hand according to Apple, iFixit notes that they are not repairable by the firm of Cupertino. A lot of glue would have been used which makes the headphones almost indémontables without damaging them. Same topo for the battery that could not be removed by a professional. Of course the headphones of the Apple are of quality to the sound level and their use with the presence of the chip W1, but iFixit, whose role is to reverse engineer the new products put on the market, has all the same to assign the worst rating, 0/10.
