It's still bad, but not even in the same ballpark as something you usually throw away in a week or so. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] cookiecoookie@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago That's fine for airpods but as someone who worked retail, there's just as many $15 earbuds that break near instantly that have to be thrown away and never fixed. Those things have 3 batteries in them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LlilL@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago You can also have your dying AirPods replaced at the battery rate of $40 too. Still doesn’t strike the overall problem, especially since Apple doesn’t advertise that replacement. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (6 children) yeah, no one ever loses an airpod... oh wait permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago (5 children) Not sure what you mean.
