[1]Apple Launches Smart Battery Cases for iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR by
Ryan Christoffel:
Apple today updated its online store with the addition of three new
products: Smart Battery Cases for the [2]iPhone XS, [3]XS Max, and
[4]XR. Every version of the case costs $129, regardless of iPhone
size. Each new case is available in both Black and White, and the
designs resemble that of the previous Apple Smart Battery Cases,
with a silicone exterior and a large bulge on the back to
accommodate the battery.
The Smart Battery Case is compatible with Qi chargers, so you can
still take advantage of wireless charging while using the case.
These are the quoted charge estimates for each case:
* XS: 33 hours talk time, 21 hours Internet use, and 25 hours video
playback
* XS Max: 37 hours talk time, 20 hours Internet use, and 25 hours
video playback
* XR: 39 hours talk time, 22 hours Internet use, and 27 hours video
playback
In the past, Apple hasn't made Smart Battery Cases available for
Plus-sized phones, so it's great to see that now, regardless of your
iPhone size, you can get a case that raises battery life to meet the
needs of heavy use.
This is swell and all, but there is significant space at the top where
Apple could put … oh, I don't know … a 3.5mm headphone jack. How great
would that be?
It's not a new idea, but is one that should be restated.
