When the AirPods 3 were first announced, Apple showed off a design that looked similar to the AirPods Pro, but the internal changes are still plentiful, as we have come to know thanks to the latest teardown.

Disassembling the AirPods 3 is no easy task, but it was to be expected. According to 52audio, a YouTube channel that performed the teardown, several parts of Apple’s wireless earbuds are glued together, so it is impossible to fix all the pieces together once you gain access to the innards. In short, the AirPods 3 are meant to be disposable, and in the future, if you experience shortened listening time due to degraded batteries, then it is time to pick up a new pair.
