Can I exchange my AirPods Max for AirPods Max 2 due to the new translation feature?

I bought the AirPods Max in February 2026 and I see the AirPods Max 2 arriving with the translation feature!! Is it possible for Apple to take back my AirPods Max towards the purchase of AirPods Max 2

Yes, according to apple wiki that is possible and you may have to pay a little bit but handing in the old AirPod max’s would impact the price making it lower.

Wiki's are user generated content and it does not make them factual. Unfortunately you lose any contextual information on what the source of the entry is referring to and it is up to other users to correct the information through crowdsourcing. You can certainly recycle AirPods at Apple and the price for them would be dramatically lower, actually you would get nothing as Apple offers free recycling. For factual information, it is always best to refer to Apple Support articles.

No you're past the 14 days to return the device.

Sell the airpods and then purchase the Max 2.
