iFixit Posts Teardown of New AirPods 4 and AirPods Max With USB-C [Video]

iFixit has posted its teardown of Apple's new AirPods 4 and AirPods Max with USB-C.

------
We're on the third set of Apple teardowns at iFixit HQ and this time we have the Airpods 4—both ANC and non-ANC versions—and the USB-C AirPods Max on our teardown table.

Airpods have historically been a nightmare to take apart, consistently earning 0 out of 10 on our repairability scale, but their bigger and more expensive sibling the Airpods Max are bordering on repairable with the first version earning a 6 our of 10, thanks to a relatively easy disassembly process.


How much has changed since the last time we've seen Airpods on our teardown table? Let's crack right in and take a look!
-----

If you don't already have AirPods, they are available here:
AirPods Max (USB-C) - $538.99 ($10.01 off)
AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C) - $199 ($50 off)
AirPods 4 (ANC) - $179
AirPods 4 - $119 ($10 off)
AirPods 3 - $129.99 ($39.01 off)

Take a look at the teardown below!
