I don’t like the narrative of ifixit, you cannot have this tiny a device and have it build with bolts and screws.

I’d like to know if there’s any competitor on this category (Samsung galaxy buds, pixel buds) that doesn’t have the same problem.

Besides, no battery can last forever, they all degrade, that’s how the current tech works unfortunately. I do want Apple to offer cheaper battery replacement, right now replacing the battery of the AirPods and case equals to a brand new set of AirPods.
