USB-C iPhone modder designs fully repairable AirPods Pro case to promote sustainability

Robotics engineer Ken Pillonel transformed the iPhone's Lightning port to USB-C and has now redesigned the AirPods Pro case to be easily repairable.
Pillonel's modifications replace the original glue with screws and nuts for easy access without damage.
By sharing the 3D design files, Pillonel enables anyone to build their own repairable case and replace batteries when needed.
His goal is to reduce e-waste by empowering consumers to repair devices, promoting product longevity and a circular economy.
The redesigned case reduces reliance on glue and provides a model for how companies could shift towards designing repairable consumer tech.
