I appreciate what this guy did, even though I don't own any apple earbuds.

I hope he or someone stats selling easily repairable and maintainable hardware and markets it as such. I think the marketplace would welcome it.

Pine64 sells earbuds. I wonder if the charge case can be made cross compatible.

I’m curious about his plans to do something similar to the earbuds. For me, that’s way more important. I don’t foresee my case getting damaged, or having to worry about the battery as much as the earbuds.

Way more complicated though.

The ear buds are so tiny I don’t know if the average person could do it, and in terms of components it’s really only the battery that would need replacing. I’d like to see app change it up where the AirPod sticks unscrew and can be swapped/recycled. Sustainable from the get go.

I gave away my air pod pros to a coworker because of a buzzing sound on one of them. He brought them in a week later said one of his buddies took it apart and fixed it. Sure enough. Some people are just good at that stuff.
