AirPods 2 Teardown

This fancy dental floss looks very familiar, but according to Apple it's worth $40 more than its predecessor. Here's the story the spec sheet tells:

Two AirPods weighing in at 0.14 oz (4 g) each, with a 1.41 oz (40 g) charging case

Each AirPod measures 0.65" × 0.71" × 1.59" (16.5 mm × 18.0 mm × 40.5 mm) while the charging case measures 1.74" × 0.84" × 2.11" (44.3 mm × 21.3 mm × 53.5 mm)

TL;DR: exactly the same size as the first-gen AirPods, but the charging case gained an additional 2.3 g—about the weight of a US penny.

Our last AirPods teardown got pretty messy, so we've partnered with Creative Electron for some X-treme X-ray guidance. Check out the arrangement of magnets for the case's Zippo-like flip top action, which looks like dark rectangles embedded in the plastic shell.
