Throughout the year, the iFixit team had fun dismantling all the Apple products released in 2016. From the new MacBook Pro to the iPhone 7, each creation of the apple has passed through the hands of these technology enthusiasts. Airpods are the firm's new wireless earphones unveiled last September. Only, can they be repaired? iFixit decided to offer an answer and here it is: no.

As Gwendal explains during the video, Airpods cannot be repaired. In order to access the content contained inside the earphones, iFixit had to use a cutter to cut out the case and discover … “a cascade of glue”. Past the glue, the little hand reaches a tiny battery of 93 milliwatts / hour. Then follows a Bluetooth antenna, which explains the shape of the Airpods and then comes the W1 chip.

Definitely impossible to repair, the iFixit team tackled the charging box. Only here again, it is mandatory to use the hard way. A circular saw then had to be used to reach the battery. The iFixit team gives it a 0/10. Even if Apple's new headphones aren't a bad product, their high price and inability to repair might only please some buyers.
