What’s happened? The AirPods Pro 3 might not be as reparable as users expect them to be. A recent iFixit teardown of the wireless headphone reveals the disappointing verdict, with the buds earning a score of 0. Yep, zero.
Why is this important? The AirPods Pro 3 are marketed as the most advanced in-ear noise cancellation device from Apple. While they might live up to the hype in terms of audio performance, for the price you pay, you’ll need to take very good care of them.
Why should I care? For $249, you might expect a product that is durable and repairable. While the AirPods Pro 3 failed to provide any repairability assurance, they did score points for durability.
Okay, what’s next? Many wireless earbuds struggle to provide solid repairability. With Apple pushing environmental messaging each year, users can only hope future AirPods models will be more repairable.
