What's killing me is the doublespeak. "We must be eco friendly ! we must save the world ! climate change bad ! look at our renewable energy data centers ! yay !" and then they ship you products that are either unfixable or you need to replace half the product to change the broken part.
In the older bose headsets you could slap an AAA batteries and be good for a while. These types of batteries won't disappear anytime soon.
Anyway, in 5 years when bose stops producing the qc35 battery pack no one will be able to replace them whereas people using bose qc25 will just have to get new AAA batteries. Either apple talks the talk and walks the walk or it simply shut up about climate, no one cares about virtue signalling if it's to fuck the user for 3% more margin in the end. I'm surethey could have designed it better and fit at the very least user replaceable batteries.
Yep, just like in the Airpods. And just like the ones in the Airpods, they'll eventually stop holding a charge. The only difference is, they're significantly bigger than the Airpods, and have more of the toxic waste.
