Launched earlier this month, the new generation of AirPods Pro brings several new features to users who are fans of Apple products. However, an investment of 249 US dollars, which is about 1.3 thousand reais at the current price, prevents device owners from taking them in for repair if they have problemsrequiring a warranty or a new instrument.

This week, iFixit reported that Apple’s new headphones are not serviceable. In a test that involved disassembling the AirPods Pro 2 into several parts, they showed how difficult it is to get access to the inside of the device to perform any kind of repair..

Among the channel’s main criticisms of the way Apple assembles the headset is sustainability. This is because any more severe damage to the device means it needs to be thrown away, given that it’s impossible to access the platters without completely disassembling it.

In the video posted by iFixit, you can see the difficulty of accessing the inside of the device, since in most cases it is necessary to break it. The most obvious result is that there is no way to fix it, as it can’t be built later.

Complaint is outdated by the community

The concern that AirPods are beyond repair is nothing new. iFixit recalls an article from 2019 when Motherboard pointed out that devices were a “tragedy” due to irreplaceable batteries, considered extremely harmful to the environment.

“Apple’s AirPods are the world’s most popular headphones, but they’re also one of the most unrepairable. AirPods Pro 2 are improved in every area except the environment. can it numb the guilt of using spam?” the video emphasizes.

However, even after having years to fix an issue that has already attracted attention at other times, Apple seems to have continued without giving the matter much thought. In addition to the plastic layer on the outside, the details on the inside also get in the way of anyone trying to risk fixing these devices.

AirPods Pro 2 are approved by Anatel and can now be sold in Brazil.
