What’s holding me back on buying airpods again is that the battery cannot be replaced.
but all the vendors have the same limits on this product class. Life 

Agree!  I have a hard time just throwing them out after a few years.  I would really like to replace my batteries in my AirPods (1) since they still sound so good.  In comparison, my wired Sure EC2 have lasted me over 20 years.  Pleas make the batteries replaceable and stop creating e-waste.   

My local Apple Store is swamped all the time and it can take a long time to get anything repaired.  Walk ins get no service at all.   I can only imagine how stressful working there is for those facing irate shoppers.  Apple just refuses to add another store in the area so it’s no surprise that some store employees are trying to find a way to impact their working conditions.   

Just leave Texas already so they have to trial this in a state that actually has something of value there!
