Secondgen AirPods teardown shows off new wireless charger and old impossibletorepair design The Verge

Apple’s second-gen AirPods are here, and iFixit is already on the (wireless charging) case with its modern day teardown, displaying off almost the exact identical era that changed into within the original AirPods along side the identical nearly impossible-to-repair layout. But this time, you can price them wirelessly.

As predicted, there’s only a single charging coil within the case, so you’ll need to ensure that you in reality area them dealing with the proper way up while you do drop them on a wi-fi charger (the LED indicator have to help with that, even though).

On the plus side, Apple has seemingly made some enhancements to the design, including a sturdier hinge to the case and a brand new, greater water-proof coating to the circuit board within the case, which have to help them avoid harm a piece better. You’ll want those enhancements, too, due to the fact just like the original AirPods, iFixit has ranked these at a zero out of ten for repairability — essentially unfixable once they spoil or if the batteries put on out.

Still, the AirPods faded in contrast to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Buds, which might be some distance less complicated to disassemble, aren’t held collectively entirely by using glue, or even can (in principle) have their rechargeable batteries replaced or easily removed for recycling.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
