Sooo, the iHump is only 1877 mAh and does not look nearly as good as third party alternatives and costs more. Jony Ive gets extra points for ironically calling this a Smart Battery Case.
Got a tip for us?

Bulkier and not the same functionalities.... I would buy the Apple's without doubts.
ugliest thing apple ever produced.
and in the running for the same honor from any company

I don't own any battery add-on packs. The Mophie maybe bulkier, but at least it's symmetrical and still fairly sleek looking as opposed to Apple's Hunchback of iNotre-Dame version... It's also cheaper. Still can't believe this!
Looks a little odd, but for the functionality and in my opinion making the phone more comfortable to hold. I'm in, White please!
Yep. No vision and just another guy who knows how to be liked by the Board and those who invest other people's money. He and the other few at the top will get their bonuses, the bankers and the funds will get their cut, all before the chickens come home.
Beats bought MOG for $15 million. MOG was a great music service, which was ruined by Beats when it became Beats Music.
Apple bought Beats only a few months later for $3 billion. Beats Music (formerly MOG) became Apple Music. Oh, and Apple also got an on-the-way down headphones and pill-speaker business. Other CEOs would have been fired, but then again, it's other people's money.
Seriously? I'm genuinely shocked and appalled by the case. What were Apple thinking?
Personally I have no gripes with the battery life of the 6/6s, however its quite obvious that other people do...so Apple build this monstrosity instead of addressing the issue seriously? I know that they have been known to release some questionable accessories but this is by far the worst, and I think its fair to say that it won't be round for long.

If you're gonna spend $100 on this, which is going to make your phone bigger and way thicker, why not just get the plus model? For the extra $100 you get better battery and bigger screen and ois.
Because you might not need the extra battery all the time. You can take the case off. You can't shrink the iPhone 6s Plus when you want a smaller phone in your hand.
Why are people complaining about the design? I doubt this is for every day use. But rather, if you find yourself in a situation where you'd be somewhere (perhaps without electrical sockets or charge ports) for a while.
WTF? They couldn't at least spread the battery across the entire back so it would at least look proportional instead of a big bump in the middle?
First they sell you an iPhone 6s Plus with "same" battery power (yeah, better processor etc), but in fact, it is by far inferior to the 6 Plus battery capacity and real world usage. I want my 6 Plus back. Now they start selling these horrid cases. This is the turn for Apple, I hope they drown in their money. I am gone! Unbelievable. Make a decent phone without this ugly case begging for extra bucks.
the cube was not beautiful. It was a cube.
I guess you also forgot about the need to have your iPhone wear a bumper in order to not loss its signal
If that's the situation your in you'll need more power than this case will give you. You'd be better off with a portable power bank. You can get far higher capacity for less money.
How do you know it's superior to the existing ones? It just came out today.
You'll have to take your distinction up with Apple. It's Jonny Ive & Tim Cook that refer to AW as an iPhone accessory and book earnings in that category too. Also I said mostly and didn't say AW was an accessory. You made that assumption.
