So this rumored AirPods Pro case with a screen. I want so badly for them to say you can store songs in the case and we get the rebirth of ipod.

@ploink No apps.

Since we are just wishing. šŸ˜…

@ploink Apple Watch guts in an AirPod case might work.

@ploink Are those little mic/speaker holes in the case? I'm assuming this is an artist's rendition, just curious about where the image is from.

I'm not sure what a screen/processor would do to battery life, but the state of SSD tech these days makes me think a case that doubles as an iPod nano is possible. That would be pretty cool.

(Agree that I absolutely would not want apps on this thing, though. Not everything has to be a Platform.)

@csilverman the speaker holes already exist on AirPods Pro.
@ploink Oh that's right. I'm a few generations behind; mine don't have a Find My-able case, so I forgot about the speaker on there.
@csilverman rendering was pulled from one of the tech blogs.
@ploink this is the only thing they need to add the the front of an AirPods case: physical remote controls. I want to control my AirPods using the case in my jacket pocket
@bonney why not add a tiny bit of physical storage so people can untether from their phones?
@ploink sure, throw the entire iPod shuffle in there! Just no touch controls
@bonney oh I see. I misunderstood. I’m guessing a screen is cheaper / easier to implement.
@ploink This would definitely be an instant buy
