iOS 12 Beta 5 shows us new images of the new AirPods charging box

The policy that Apple has adopted in recent years of presenting its new products a few months before their arrival in stores, is causing bad past. The first example is found in the AirPower charging base, a multiple charging base that was presented in the keynote in September last year, but which has not yet seen the light of day.

Other new products that were presented, although not officially, was the wireless charging box of the AirPods, a box that has not become officially available through the AirPods or independently. The latest beta of iOS 12, number 5, shows us new images where we can see this new box, where the charging led if it is located on the outside.

The current AirPods, the first generation, are the model number 1,1, while this second generation, whose main change is found in the charging box, as we can see in the fifth beta of iOS 12, It is model 1,2. This charging LED allows us to know at all times, if the AirPods container box is fully charged, green light, or is in the charging process, orange light.

In current models, this led is located inside the lid that we have to open to be able to extract the AirPods, so by adopting a wireless charging system, Apple has had to move the situation of this led to one of the sides , so as not to have to momentarily interrupt the charging process when we want to know if they have been fully charged or not.

Most likely, Apple will sell this new wireless charging base for AirPods together with the AirPower charging base, in the renewal that the Apple Store Online receives every year hours before the celebration of the September keynote in which the company presents the new generation of iPhone.
