ALWAYS GETS ME AAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHH I make sure I disconnect them from all devices; I make sure they are well positioned in their cases; that the charging lights are on etc and yet… they disappoint me like this…

My AirBuds are FIVE(!) years old and I used them every single day all day at work, for walks, all the time and the case’s battery is still EXCELLENT. I know Apple Bad and whatnot but their wireless headphones are of excellent quality.
I now have a pair of Pros because I needed the ANC, but I still use my regular ones to nap and stuff.
I’ve also never experienced OP’s issue with them.
My Motorola HT820 bluetooth headset is old enough to vote (18 years), and still holds a charge for a few hours. Tech can last if built right.
I never use Apple stuff because of the price, but yeah i do understand some of their stuff came with exceptional good quality. Emphasise “some” though.
Completely reasonable. Their computers were of excellent quality for the price in 2008 to 2011. I have heard this is no longer the case. My 2011 MacBook Pro is still in use but I’m all Linux/Windows for my new machines.
I switched to iPhones when my partner got one over a decade ago. My current phone is like six years old and runs like it’s new, and on its original battery. No complaints about price for quality there. I even get the next iOS update.
The headphones though… they’re absolute garbage on my computers but amazing on iOS. Five years from a pair of basic wireless budz is fantastic, with no end in sight. My new pro ones blow my mind with Spatial Audio. I know other headphones have that too but it’s soooo cool to me.
I sound like a shill for their mobile stuff but damn I love em. I may not get another computer from them but they make solid other stuff.
My samsung gen 1 galaxy buds are still perfectly fine too, use them to this day at the gym back from 2019-2020. Premium wireless in those days were made of some surprisingly stern stuff. Used to be a diehard Sennheiser guy but their stuff would just stop working after a year or two, wired or not.
