> How many Apple Watches and AirPods have ever become obsolete due to their batteries not being replaceable?
Every single pair of AirPods I've had has died due to one of them not charging anymore. I assume it's the battery.
No idea where/how/who looks into this though, so I've just bought new ones.
This is probably just your AirPods or the case getting dirty, doesn’t sound like a failing battery at all.
