    Surprised the title didn’t say, “Apple slammed for ear pods that are designed to die”.

    Gluing components together so it’s not easy/impossible to repair is different to ‘designing to die’. In my opinion designed to die suggests the ear pods will die prematurely due to intentional design decisions. Gluing components together just means that when the ear pods die, then they cannot be brought back to life and you have to replace them.

      Kinda off-topic but their charging cables are actually designed to die. Not that people care…
