New patent exposure of Apple AirPods headphones: designed with flexible structure, stretchable and flexible

CTOnews.com, Nov. 15, according to a list released by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office today, Apple has obtained a patent for the design of AirPods headphones, showing possible changes to Apple headphones in the future.

Apple's TWS headphones currently include AirPods and AirPods Pro, as well as Beats-branded headphones with a hard plastic housing, while the new patents outlined by Apple envision a flexible, flexible, adjustable shell with metal components, hinges or other flexible structures inside.

In its patent, Apple envisions that the future AirPods can adjust the shape of headphones for different scenarios. For example, in the process of outdoor exercise, users can stretch the "handle" part of the headphone and fix it around the ear to reduce the possibility of falling. CTOnews.com attached the patented design draft as follows:

If you are sleeping or in other situations, you can adjust the curvature of the AirPods to fit your ear so that you don't feel resting while lying on your side, making it more comfortable to wear.
