Apple has filed a patent for a new AirPods case featuring an interactive display

Apple US Patent & Trademark Office patent

California-based tech giant Apple has recently filed a patent for a new charging case for its hugely popular AirPods which features a fully interactive display. Spotted by Patently Apple, the US Patent & Trademark Office has granted the patent for Apple’s cases to feature a built-in touchscreen with an interface similar to that used on the Apple Watch. 

Useful features and apps, such as Maps, Weather, notifications and music controls, would all be viewable from the case unit. The patent also covers voice commands, so users could switch between applications and functions using Siri.
