AirPods Pro 2 Scans expose the method individuals ingeniously employ to replicate AirPods using budget-friendly components
CT scans have exposed disparities between the AirPods Pro 2 and counterfeit alternatives. Apple not only integrates more sophisticated hardware into its earbuds, but dishonest manufacturers even go as far as placing tiny weights inside their charging cases to deceive unsuspecting buyers.
When a company manufactures a beloved, high-quality item like the AirPods Pro, knockoffs are bound to emerge. In recent times, these counterfeits have become so advanced that they closely mimic the authentic devices in terms of appearance. Yet, it’s essential to note that this similarity is only skin deep, and our understanding of why this is the case has been enhanced, thanks to recent CT scans.
Jon Bruner has applied CT scanning to yet another high-priced Apple item, recently subjecting the company’s Thunderbolt 4 cable to the same analysis. Now, Bruner has conducted a comparison between the AirPods Pro 2 and two fake alternatives, shedding light on the cost-cutting methods used by the latter.
The absence of magnets, use of lower-grade plastic, and smaller battery capacity stand out as distinguishing features, and counterfeit AirPods are considerably lighter than their genuine counterparts. In order to offset this distinction, counterfeit cases are outfitted with supplementary weights.
Apple has a longstanding reputation for producing products at a premium price point, renowned for its unwavering dedication to top-tier engineering and superior components. It’s quite conceivable to picture counterfeiters marketing fake AirPods at substantially lower prices than Apple’s genuine ones, all without compromising on quality.
