AirPods 5 breaks out of zero repairability score, battery replacement now possible
Apple\'s AirPods 5 has moved off a zero score in repairability assessments after a teardown found a design that allows the earbud battery to be removed without completely destroying the product. iFixit gave the AirPods 5 a score of 2 out of 10, indicating self-repair remains difficult. Batteries for left and right earbuds are not interchangeable, deeper disassembly can still damage the device, and the charging case remains hard to access.
