Apple is likely to release an AirPods case with a built-in touchscreen
Tech giant Apple is designing an upcoming AirPods case that is said to have a built-in touchscreen.
According to a recently published patent, this technology allows users to control audio sources and interact with apps connected to the connected device, reports MacRumors.
The iPhone maker filed the patent in September 2021, and the US Patent and Trademark Office published it last week titled “Apparatus, Methods, and Graphical User Interface Interaction with Headphone Case.”
“The utility of the headphone case can be improved and the user’s control of the wireless headphones can be improved by configuring the headphone case with an interactive user interface to enable control of functions related to the wireless headphones,” the patent states.
“We need a headphone case device that can control functions traditionally associated with headphones (e.g. playback controls, changing sound sources, changing sound output modes, etc.). Additionally, there is a need for a headset case that can also convey information to the user through haptics and/or display devices,” it added.
The case is expected to include additional processors and memory modules that allow it to execute special instructions traditionally associated with smartphones, computers and other connected devices, the report said.
