My 2 years of AppleCare+ are almost up for my AirPods Pro. It’s hard to tell whether my batteries have degraded significantly, but I’ve gotta imagine 2 years of use would take their toll, and frankly I’d like to get my money’s worth on the warranty. There are many reports on Reddit of people getting a no-questions-asked replacement for this reason, but a few people said Apple now does some sort of diagnostic. I couldn’t find any super recent feedback, though, and it’s unclear whether the diagnostic is checking for battery capacity or simply charging capability. Has anyone gone through this process recently?

    I personally haven’t because I refuse to buy into wireless only phones. Appy headsets have cables be is USBC or the preferred 3.5mm specifically because I saw this kinda stuff happening and do not want my products to be a part of planned obsolescence.

    I am in no way helping on contributing to your issue. I am aware.
