Patent of Apple shows case capable of storing and charging AirPods

There are many speculations about the new and long-awaited iPhone. In the meantime, Apple product lovers can keep themselves entertained by a very interesting new development. According to recently approved patents, Apple may be preparing an interesting solution for the applemaniacs on duty: this is an iPhone case that could store and also charge the AirPods battery. The patents were granted yesterday (12/01) by the USPTO, United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Yes, that's right: wireless headphones, which have become the darlings of the moment, are in the sights of the next innovations in Apple. Nothing more fair, after all the AirPods are fully integrated into the ecosystem of gadgets developed by Apple.

A Apple has several interesting patents with wireless charging, such as this patent for a MacBook that could charge iPhones, Apple Wireless AirPods watches and cases.

The charger and stand would be built into the iPhone case itself. The patent reveals that the part that will charge and store the AirPods would be in the upper corner, with one earphone on each side. The document also shows that the battery module could be integrated into the charging case, functioning as a power bank. In addition, the patent shows another model with the earphones on the back in a foldable case, where it would be possible to charge the AirPods inside.

If Apple actually produce a cover like this, it will certainly be a hit with owners of the wireless headphones from Apple. The AirPods battery life is about 5 hours of listening time, or XNUMX hours of talk time, so a charging case would be very welcome. Now, we hope that these patents become prototypes and, who knows, maybe they will reach the market one day.
