AirPods Pro 3 teardown video reveals unsurprisingly abysmal repairability score
AirPods Pro 3 are effectively non-repairable, score 0/10, with components easily destroyed during disassembly and a single-cell case battery replacing a dual-cell design.
The iPhone Air combines extreme thinness with notably good repairability, earning a 7/10 score thanks to modular parts, accessible battery, and design choices that aid durability.
