iFixit Shares AirPods 4 and USB-C AirPods Max Teardown Video

Well-known electronics repair website iFixit today shared an AirPods 4 teardown video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sF0BOpbyjY) that offers a look inside Apple's latest wireless earbuds. Specifically, these are the entry-level AirPods 4 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/airpods-4-vs-previous-generations/) without active noise cancellation (ANC).

Unsurprisingly, iFixit said AirPods remain a "nightmare to take apart," with the earbuds earning a lowest-possible 0/10 score on iFixit's reparability scale.



The teardown does not reveal any major internal differences between the AirPods 3 and AirPods 4.



The charging case for the AirPods 4 without ANC is equipped with a 345 mAh battery. This is the same size battery as in the AirPods 3 charging case.



iFixit also opened up the revised AirPods Max (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/09/apple-announces-new-airpods-max/), which launched alongside the AirPods 4 last month. Aside from a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port, the headphones have no major internal differences compared to the original AirPods Max.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: AirPods 4 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/airpods/), AirPods Max (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/airpods-max/)</div><div class="linkback">Tags: iFixit (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ifixit/), Teardown (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/teardown/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: AirPods (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#AirPods), AirPods Max (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#AirPods-Max)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: AirPods (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/airpods.216)</div>
