Apple is stealing money again: AirPods headphone battery replacement costs more than 1/4 of the total price

Recently, Apple officially released its own wireless earphones AirPods, which is a very high-end product, so the price has reached 1,288 yuan. However, due to its unique design, AirdPods earphones are also quite easy to lose.

Fortunately, the details given on Apple's official website show that if one AirPods is lost or the charging box is lost, they can be replaced separately. If the AirPods, which cost $159, are replaced with one earphone alone, a fee of $69 will be charged.

In addition, AirPods are indeed a delicate toy, because after the one-year warranty period ends, it costs US$49 to replace the battery, which is equivalent to about RMB 340.

Although the price of the single earphone/charging box of the Chinese version has not been announced, Apple's official website has updated the price of replacing the battery of AirdPods earphones. Shockingly, the battery replacement price is as high as 388 yuan, which is more than 1/4 of the overall retail price.

According to Apple's previous electronic products, the price of the battery basically only accounts for 1/8 to 1/10 of the retail price of the entire machine, while the price of replacing the AirPods battery is obviously quite high.
