iFixit AirPods teardown

Been looking forward to this one.

We start our examination with these curious markings on the boxes. We’re seeing multiple references to something called “AirPower” … ?

Darth: “The snark is strong with this one.”

We have some real gripes with the AirPods’ design priorities, but there’s no denying the engineering talent that goes into them. Peer into this X-ray and you can pick out batteries, microphones, antennas, speaker drivers, circuit boards—all in something that fits in your ear.

Amen.

This was an interesting read. But incredibly entertaining, too.
