How do you make your best true wireless earbuds even better? If you're Apple, you put a touchscreen display on the charging case. Or at least, that's the idea Apple has been exploring in a newly unearthed AirPods patent with the catchy title "Devices, Methods and Graphical User Interface Interactions with a Headphones Case".
According to the patent, "There is a need for a headphone case device that can control operations that are traditionally associated with headphones (e.g., playback controls, changing audio sources, changing audio output modes, etc.)."
