AirPods with a screen is as mythical as the Loch Ness monster at this point — we’ve been hearing rumors about what Apple could add to the charging case for years. And now a new patent suggests Apple is still working on the concept, looking at the potential of a display to highlight visual playback information.
The patent titled, “Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for interactions with a headphone case,” shows an earbuds charging case with a display that shows musical audio output including a pause button, volume, rewind, and fast forward. The display would also show when a digital assistant, like Siri, is activated as well as provide other information like when the earbuds are connected to TV audio.
