As soon as you put the AirPods inside the case, they are disconnected from your device and in Standby.

They can not be switched off like an iPhone, for example.

To find out more about using your AirPods, have a look at the AirPods User Guide:

So are our phones always on standby but the battery does get hurt? Right?

No, leaving a phone on standby (on but not being actively used doesn't hurt the battery.

Same with the pods. Turning them on/off individually even when on ears. Uses high amount of battery even while playing nothing,

AirPods are very different than iPhones. When they are not actively in use, they are not doing much. A phone, on the other hand, is always doing things in the background. So, no, AirPods don't use "high amount of battery even while playing nothing."

iMagine just letting them rest just in case you don't carry the case, could turn off too entirely? Wow. That too both of them?

Carry the case. It will help prevent losing the smaller, individual AirPods.

On another hey "that too individual switchs".

I don't know what that means.

You sleep at night watching and too lazy to even put the pods back in case. So you just put that to use that instant and cheers to increasing life in our premium way.

I put the AirPods back in the case before I go to bed. Why would being able to turn them off help if I were to fall asleep with them in my ears? I couldn't turn the off if I had fallen asleep.


Could be patented too as it's not available. No exterior design change needed.

No design change needed. Not a lot of hardware change as well. I have the perfect design feeling.

Tell Apple.
