Its battery case gives an additional 24 hours of charge which can be charged via a lightning cable.
AirPods experience is just as amazing whether you’re listening to your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac. As for as compatibility is concerned, AirPods require Apple devices to be running iOS 10, watchOS 3, or macOS Sierra to work. The technology behind this is based on a new Apple chip called the W1.
