>>>Apple has long made some of the best iPhone wireless earbuds in the form of the original AirPods Pro, but they were roundly derided for their lack of repairability<<<

Anias Nin said "We don’t see people as they are, we see people as we are". That statement above regarding the AirPods being "roundly derided" due to repairability is proof of what Nin said. Virtually no one buys these or any brand of tiny plastic earbuds thinking 'well they are great but I don't want them because they can't be taken apart". Sure, understandably that is important in the repair world but the repair world is a fraction of one percent of the actual world that doesn't know or care that AirPods can be taken apart.
What's not understandable is their constant appeal to emotion in the form of 'it's bad for the environment'. Apple provides free recycling and recycling is heavily used in the manufacturing. Thus is a colossal order of magnitudes more important than a tiny fraction of plastic ear buds being taken apart and "repaired".
