Apple Announces New Airpods Case With a Touch Screen

A forthcoming AirPods case that is rumored to have a built-in touchscreen display has been designed, according to Apple. According to a recently disclosed patent, this technology will enable users to engage with linked devices’ applications and manage audio sources.

The patent application was submitted by the maker of the iPhone in September 2021. The news was released this week by the US Patent & Trademark Office.

The phrase “Audio output device cases are usually passive devices used to charge audio output devices” appears in the patent application. An interactive user interface can increase the utility of a headphone case and user control of wireless headphones.

Controls for playback, as well as options for switching audio sources and output formats. A case with prospective modifications like a touchscreen display, “tactile output generators” (i.e. haptics), as well as its own processor and memory, is how Apple sees the answer to this demand.
