We can't help it, when a new product from the Cupertino company is launched we are always waiting for the guys from iFixit get down to business with what none of us dares to do, gut the product of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), specifically and discover more news that we may have missed.

Obviously, the process of "deconstruction" of these AirPods Max is not easy, It never is with the Cupertino company, even though its products are receiving some pretty amazing repairability scores lately. However, since iFixit They make special mention of the complex and confusing disarmament procedure, and it is that obviously this type of product does not invite to be open.

Despite the fact that the electromechanical system of the AirPods Max is quite complex, it has been relatively easy for us to disassemble. We have a good handful of flex cables around the product, which makes it quite easy to repair it with separate parts. All cables have protections, which makes us imagine that we will have a good durability.
They have many secrets in the opening, among which is the surprising ease of replacing the upper headband through a button similar to that of the SIM trays.
