iFixit AirPods 2 Teardown Report

iFixit, a popular tech repair company, did a Teardown of the latest model of AirPods 2 and revealed the following conclusions:

  • They are designed in such a way that they cannot be serviced. We cannot access the hardware components without damaging the device.
  • The Sealed-in batteries limit the AirPods’ lifespan, which makes them a consumable/disposable item.
  • The positive part is that the new wireless charging coil has a thermal pad which keep it cool under pressure.

Comparison with Samsung Galaxy Buds

AirPods2 vs Samsung Galaxy Buds

iFixit did a Teardown of the Samsung Galaxy Buds too, and rated it much higher compared to AirPods 2.

Samsung Galaxy Buds:

The external assemblies are held together with clips instead of glue. The earbuds use a coin-cell battery, which is easier to repair replace.

Apple AirPods 2:

It’s impossible to access the internal hardware component without damaging the device. There is no practical way to repair them, even if we go to a professional repair service.

iFixit gave a rating of 0/10 to AirPods 2 and 6/10 to Galaxy Buds and for repairability.
