A new MagSafe case could come on AirPods and will be used to charge iPhone and Apple headphones.

A recently revealed patent suggests that Apple might have something pretty interesting on its hands. This is a MagSafe case that we can connect to our iPhone to charge the device wirelessly using our mobile battery. The iPhone 12 was found in 2020 to support reverse wireless charging using MagSafe, so we would be closer to being able to charge our AirPods from the iPhone.

This MagSafe harness It would be used to charge our AirPods Pro and other compatible hearing aids while on the other hand, it would also be used to charge the iPhone. The patent describes that this MagSafe case would have its own battery, and that would serve as an additional power source for our mobile in case we ran out of charge. Of course, the case would also have a compartment where we could put each of the AirPods so that they could be charged with the battery of the case or the iPhone.

The Web Apparently Apple left us an extract of the description of the signed patent. by those from Cupertino, so we have a better idea of ​​how it works:

“Accessory devices for portable electronic devices are described here. An accessory device may include a receptacle used to receive and transport an electronic device. Additionally, the accessory device may include a cover which is pivotally coupled to the receptacle. The cover is designed to protect a front surface of the electronic device, including a glass cover. The accessory device may also include a power source (such as a battery) which is located in the cover. The power supply is designed to power the electronic device of the device, and then charge a battery of the electronic device. The power supply can also power various devices. In this regard, the accessory device may include an inductive charging coil which can inductively charge a battery of a device located in the device. or accessory. The inductive charging coil can be integrated in the receptacle or in the cover. “

MagSafe is becoming more and more popular

The MagSafe connection for iPhone has a multitude of compatible accessories

MagSafe connected devices are gaining popularity among the Apple product line. The company recently released the MagSafe Charging Case for AirPods Pro, which will allow us to wirelessly charge our headphones. This, even if it does not say too much at the beginning, This is a first step to achieve the charge between our iPhone 12 and AirPods, something that is really useful if our case has been unloaded and we are far from an outlet.

Of course, so far this is only a patent. Not all patents are officially publishedBut they show Apple’s ambition to push its MagSafe connection much further. MagSafe first came to mobile phones with the iPhone 12, and Apple also brought it to the new iPhone 13 and its derivatives. A while ago we saw a patent for a weird MagSafe port for iPhone, which means we haven’t seen all of that connection on Apple’s smartphone yet.
