Because there is only one charging port on the AirPods shell, the battery inside the AirPods can be charged through the charging box; But the AirPods cable does not have the function of charging the phone, because it can only connect to the charging case, not directly connected to the phone or other devices.
Therefore, the cable of AirPods can only be used to charge AirPods themselves, and cannot be used to charge other devices.
If you need to charge your phone, you can use another charging cable or charger to do so.
Yes, the data cable of Apple's mobile phone, tablet and airpods is the same interface, and it is universal, except for its computer is different, other products are universal
airpods data cable is common with mobile phones. Whether it is the latest charging case with wireless charging function or the first-generation charging case, it adopts the current Lightning lightning interface data cable of Apple mobile phone, and can be charged by the chargers of iPhone and iPad. If it is a wireless charging version that supports wireless charging function, it can be placed on the wireless charging pad to charge.
It's alright to me! However, if the interface is inconsistent with the iPhone, you can not use the AirPods data cable to charge the iPhone. If your AirPods are 3 generation, Pro 1 generation, Pro 2 generation data cable, it can be charged with the full range of iphones above iPhone 11. If your AirPods are not generation 3 of these models, they are not universal.
