The truth is that Apple’s industrial design engineers did not implement major changes in the different versions of AirPods. In AirPods 3, the size of each earbud was significantly reduced, and in AirPods Pro, the dimensions of the charging case were expanded to provide greater autonomy and a USB-C port.

With this new patent titled “Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for interactions with the headset box”Apple would introduce a number of very interesting innovations by controlling a small touch screen on the charging case. There’s no doubt it will be amazing.

• Audio playback control.
• Activate and interact with Siri.
• Receive and reply to messages.
• Get weather information.
• Listen to audiobooks.

The AirPods charging case of the future could look very similar to the design of the 2010 iPod nano. More conveniently control everything you listen to on your AirPodsIn future versions, the case may even have an unlocking method or an always-on display function.

Although Apple is working on such a patent, it is also worth noting that. We may not see the birth of the touchscreen AirPods charging case. But it’s nice to dream. Let’s hope Apple engineers find a way to implement this idea and make it a reality. I am sure that such a device will be a great success in the market.

I personally believe that having a touch screen in any product adds extra convenience to using the product. To give an example from another perspective, in the refrigerator example, the touch screen allows you to control more aspects of the product without having to open the door. Something similar happens in the case of AirPods. But also It should be taken into account that its price can increase significantly. Compared to the current price of the AirPods Pro 2, which is currently around 300 euros. Would you pay more to enjoy more interaction and convenience with a touch-screen charging case?
