Apple's new patent for AirPods headphones: turn the charging box into a "necklace" and a "key ring"

CTOnews.com, August 2 (Xinhua)-- according to a list published by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple recently obtained a patent for the design of AirPods headphones, which can be placed in "necklaces" and "key rings" when not in use for users to carry.

Apple said in its patent that although portable electronic devices can be put in a pocket or wallet, it is still not convenient to store in some situations.

Apple hopes to transform the shape of the AirPods charging box into necklaces, key rings and other common items that users can easily carry outdoors.

CTOnews.com attached the Apple patent diagram as follows, the accessories may include a first receiving part and a second receiving part, which can be physically connected through the housing part (which can be flexible or flexible).

Apple said the AirPods charging box can be built into various shapes such as collars that surround "the user's clothes, accessories, body parts or appendages, or any other object on which the accessories are held as needed."

Apple also suggested that a charging box affixed to clothes could also be used as a very specific, very targeted loudspeaker.
