This is not true, they recycle the devices people use for trading or use them to sell them refurbished. I’m not an Apple fan at all and their products don’t particularly appeal to me, but making bs claims just because you hate them is ridiculous. AirPods, along with many of their products, are actually really good and genuinely priced accordingly to their quality, just because they aren’t meant specifically for you, me or any other person doesn’t mean they only make crap or no one actually likes them.
