iFixit  has completed its traditional  teardown of Apple’s latest AirPods  and,  just as Apple promised , it’s bad news for repairs. The organization awarded the noise-canceling buds a big fat zero repairability score, noting that their “non-modular, glued-together design and lack of replacement parts makes repair both impractical and uneconomical.” That’s the same score as  both   versions  of the original AirPods.
