Newly published patents suggest that Apple has more MagSafe cases on the way, with an AirPods twist.
With the arrival of the iPhone 12, Apple has repurposed the MagSafe branding for a new wireless charging system for its smartphones. There are already Apple-made MagSafe cases available, and it looks as though there are more on the way. A new Apple patent spotted by Patently Apple shows a folio-style case with built-in MagSafe charging options. Magnets embedded inside the case would enable it to be charged wirelessly with a MagSafe adapter. Interestingly there are also two designs with slots for you to slide your AirPods in and charge them from the same case. When it’s time to leave the house you’ll have both your smartphone and your wireless earbuds fully charged and ready to go.
