iFixit starts tearing down AirPods Max

iFixit today began disassembling Apple’s new AirPods Max headphones for one of its traditional device teardowns, with the goal of determining whether “AirPods Max” are repairable to a degree or to a “disaster of”. electronic waste ”. Teardown is in progress and will be updated over the next few days.

This is an early partial disassembly that also includes a quick x-ray examination inside the helmet. The x-ray view gives an overview of the battery cell in each earbud, dual ring speaker magnets, alignment magnets, microphone stands, and more.

iFixit didn’t find it easy to get into the “AirPods Max” and there was quite a bit of glue. There are two logic boards inside riddled with chips, which iFixit plans to identify in more detail later.

So far, there are no further details available on the ‌AirPods Max‌ as the teardown is in progress, but iFixit says it will be updated in the next few days and there is “a lot more coming soon, ”including a few surprises for helmet fans.
