Might Apple be making an ecosystem where everything can charge everything else?
“If you only have one Apple product, the charging integration doesnt benefit you much.
But if you have a Mac, AirPods, an iPhone, and an iPad?
The MagSafe name seems like a major part of Apples charging strategy.
At the same time, many of Apples devices can charge each other.
And you’ve got the option to use the same trick to charge AirPods from the iPad Pro.
This might seem little more than a gimmick, but it changes how you use your devices.
Tying It All Together
TheMagSafe Battery Packis the clearest manifestation of Apples strategy yet.
This means it’s possible for you to use it to charge a pair of AirPods or AirPods Pro.
It only does this when the iPhone is connected to power, but its a genius feature.
This hints at a future where the iPhone could offer an emergency charge to your AirPods.
And why not go further?
These charging changes are no different.
If you only have one Apple product, the charging integration doesnt benefit you much.
But if youre all-in on Apple gear, its going to make things a lot easier.
