This reads so much like Apple marketing talk. Just call any criticism bullshit and let the anectodes and fanboys circlejerk. Add "Apple also gives cuddly gifts to kids sometimes", and you're golden.

🤢

The recycling plug is a little silly, but they are correct about AirPods lasting longer than that article claims.

The first gen AirPods were absolutely ready for hospice after 2 years. But the new ones are much better. Anyone that’s used some Pro 2s or Gen 3s knows what I’m talking about.

This article’s claims are kind of outdated and they feel like they were written by someone who hasn’t used one of the models made during the last 5 years.

It's not marketing talk if you know 5+ people and noone has problems with their battery after two years.

5 samples is still anecdotal. There is no statistical significance there.

Sure, but then it's still worth more than this article lol
