So break a lot of stuff for something that doesn't matter enough for it to be worth it.
If you have AirPods you have an iPhone so making this change on the headphones requires you to make the change on the phone otherwise you've managed to achieve 2 cables yet again.
While these mods are fun they're like custom roms for android. Worth it for the techie but not worth it unless it's a sideproject and you're not effectively risking your current device.

    Fast forward and Xiaomi quickly joins the trend copying Apple not to be late followed by the rest of those generic Chinese brands
    Then you come to gsm arena to complain about it and you'll have the usual apologists saying "who needs a charging port" or "this isn't 2012, start charging wirelessly!"
    You know the usual stuff

        Apple must be shitting themselves after the EU regulator ruled for USB Type C ports. Hence, you can slowly see more Apple products (including iPhones) will soon be featuring a USB Type C port.

          Only Apple still uses lightning and gives usb c to usb c cables with Beats. Such a shame.
