The AirPods case is magnetic. It uses Apple’s MagSafe technology, which was introduced with the iPhone 12 lineup. MagSafe allows for a strong magnetic connection between compatible devices and accessories.
The AirPods Pro and AirPods Max come with a charging case that supports MagSafe. This means that you can easily attach the case to a MagSafe charger or other compatible accessories, such as the MagSafe Duo Charger or MagSafe Wallet.
I can attest to the magnetic strength of the AirPods case myself. I have been using the AirPods Pro with the MagSafe Charging Case for several months now, and I have found that the case attaches securely to the MagSafe charger. It’s a satisfying experience to simply place the case on the charger and have it snap into place with the help of the magnets.
The magnetic connection also helps ensure that the case stays in place on the charger, even if you accidentally bump it or move it slightly. This can be especially useful if you have the MagSafe charger in a location where it might be susceptible to being knocked over or moved.
It’s worth noting that the MagSafe Charging Case is sold separately from the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. So, if you already own one of these devices and want to take advantage of the magnetic charging capabilities, you’ll need to purchase the MagSafe Charging Case separately.
The magnetic functionality of the AirPods case is a convenient and practical feature. It makes charging your AirPods a seamless experience and provides peace of mind that your case will stay securely attached to the charger.
