AirPods 2024 Teardown - Totally UNREPAIRABLE?

We're on the third set of Apple teardowns at iFixit HQ and this time we have the Airpods 4-both ANC and non-ANC versions-and the USB-C AirPods Max on our teardown table.

Airpods have historically been a nightmare to take apart, consistently earning 0 out of 10 on our repairability scale, but their bigger and more expensive sibling the Airpods Max are bordering on repairable with the first version earning a 6 our of 10, thanks to a relatively easy disassembly process.

How much has changed since the last time we've seen Airpods on our teardown table? Let's crack right in and take a look!
