We have already commented on it in the article about the beta versions launched by Apple yesterday afternoon, and it is that in the version of iOS 12 beta 5 some images are shown in which you can see the AirPods with what appears to be the wireless charging box.
This was first seen or officially unveiled almost a year ago and now it looks like it's closer to being officially released. In any case, we still have many questions to solve about this box: Will it work to charge the iPhone? Will it have to be purchased as a separate accessory?
Many doubts about this AirPods wireless charging box
The truth is that it does not seem that everything is clear with this accessory and is that after seeing it on top of the AirPower charging base (which has not been launched either) in the keynote of the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X, we haven't really seen the accessory anywhere.
The price of $ 70 that was rumored to cost as an accessory is a "little short" knowing Apple, but will they include it directly with the purchase of the AirPods? Will they serve to charge the iPhone? This was what was said in a rumor and it would be interesting, but we are not sure that it has enough charge for the iPhone. At first It is expected to come from the hand of the new iPhone models that they have to launch in September of this year, we cannot confirm anything because they are all rumors, but it seems that after a year we are finally closer to removing our doubts about it.
