Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are still a nightmare to open, but there’s a hidden design change that makes battery replacement just a little easier.

iFixit’s teardown of the AirPods Pro 3 revealed a surprising change: a battery connector that makes removal safer. But as my own repair attempt showed, these earbuds are still a nightmare to fix.

The AirPods Pro 3 look like a major upgrade, but once I cracked them open, I found a different story when it comes to repairability and even a smaller battery than last gen.

The FCC just published the iPhone 16e schematics by mistake. While Apple isn’t happy, repair techs are celebrating.

I opened up Apple’s battery pack and found something I didn’t expect, an iPhone Air battery hiding inside. Here’s the teardown and my thoughts.

I tore down the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and honestly? I’m disappointed. Apple has reversed years of progress on repairability, and this phone is packed with more screws and steps than any iPhone I’ve seen before.

I tore down the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it’s unlike any iPhone I’ve seen before. From a uni-body aluminum housing to a vapor chamber, Apple packed in new tech, but also made repairs more complicated than ever.

Apple’s new MagSafe battery pack for the iPhone Air is stylish, but limited compatibility and a high price tag make it tough to recommend.

Phone drops don’t just crack glass, they can wreck internal parts too. I tested the RhinoShield AirX case to see if it actually protects against hidden damage.

Here’s how the process works, what makes it simple, and the one part that’s still a pain.
Excerpt: The iPhone 16 screen swap is surprisingly simple. You don’t even need to disconnect the battery. But one sticky step makes the repair harder than it looks.

I grabbed a $5 fake Samsung Galaxy S Pen from AliExpress to see if it’s a good backup. It looks legit, but inside tells a very different story.

Apple usually keeps its product features separate, but the AirPods Pro 3 flip that script. With live translation, better battery life, and even a heart rate sensor, Apple’s headphones are stepping into Apple Watch territory.

Apple ditched the SIM tray years ago for eSIM, but it always felt like wasted space. Now with the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro, that dead space is finally being used for bigger batteries.

If your phone sounds muffled during calls or videos, it’s probably not broken, it’s dirty. In this guide, I’ll show you how to clean your speaker and microphone mesh using simple household tools, so you can restore clear sound in minutes.

Google’s Pixel 10 Pro just dropped, and you can already find official parts to fix it. I modded mine (no breaks, I promise), and Google’s repair support is blowing my mind.

Apple kicked off its “Awe Dropping” event with AirPods Pro 3, followed by new Apple Watches, and wrapped up with the iPhone 17 lineup. Here’s what’s new.

The Pixel 10 Pro feels more iPhone-like than any Pixel before. I tore it down, tested Pixel Snap, and turned it transparent to see what’s really inside.

The Logitech G703 adds a removable disc that lets it draw power continuously from a specialized $100 mouse pad. Neat, but don’t count on charging anything else.
