Don't buy products that are clearly anti-consumer and you won't have issues like this. Of course Apple devices may as well be jewelry at this point. Who even cares if they're charged? Just nod your head like there's something going on.
To be fair, almost all wireless earbuds are shit for repairability. The one possible exception I can think of is Sony’s WF-1000XM3, which still require a pick to change the battery.
And as a headphone geek who buys a lot of different overpriced headphones for his electronic instruments, I can’t say that I hate AirPods for being out and about.
They pair and transfer well, and the ANC / transparency is solid. They’re a bit overpriced, and you’re going to have to trash them in several years like most other BT buds, but they’re pretty damn solid before the battery goes to shit.
