My AirPods are still going strong after getting them in 2018. 🤷♂️ obviously doesn’t discount the stories for those who they didn’t work for. I also had to do a warranty exchange on them after a week from my original pair because they just randomly unpaired and wouldn’t pair to any device any more so that points to some QC issues for sure
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.
In other news, the sky is blue, water is wet, and the earth is round.
My nephew loses them way sooner than the battery will die
And water is transparent.
Pre-built PCs are designed to die as well, and so are phones in general (incl. everything without a removable battery actually), as well as electric vehicles, not only cars.
Same with Windows, Mac and any other closed source piece of software but thanks to piracy and hacking its not such a big problem...yet.
Tomorrow will be visible outside during the day, but not so much during the night.
