Apple’s airpods are a disaster

Fruity tax-dodging cargo-cult Apple might have surprised the world by getting its Airpods into the shops in time for Christmas, but it turns out they are as useful as having too much ear wax.

Early buyers of the ear-buds say that they fall out, which can be expensive if you lose one down the back of the sofa. But it turns out that in addition to being expensive, they will be a major problem for recyclers.
