Yet another reason to avoid Apple hardware.
I invested so much into this stupid ecosystem. Feels silly now after realizing how abusive this company is and the lengths it will go to keep you walled in.

Unfortunately that's true for all but the Fairphone ones. I have multiple. All other true wireless and also most with one wire behind the neck are not worth fixing. Non-Apple brands are cheaper though. Philips ones are like 50 €, for example. If they die after years that's less bad.
I have earphones that are 15-20 years old (UE Triple-fi 10s and Yuin PK2s, the first wave of Chi-fi products), 2-3 year (or even 5) lifespan for audio products is insane.
Over-ear studio headphones, yeah, I expect those to last for a long ass time. But in-ear? Battery or not, a lot of those just get beat to shit after years. Even if you’re buying some nice IEMs. Been this way for as long as I can remember.
Apple fans wouldn't care anyway.
