Apple Releases Smart Battery Cases for iPhone XS, XS Max and XR, Qi Wireless Charging Supported

[blacktape242]

why never one for the X?????

 

[rosalindavenue]

Apple has never made a max/plus size battery case before, right?

 

[iObama]

Can these still use Qi charging?

According to the Apple site, yes, they are compatible with Qi chargers.

same design and more expensive... Apple learned nothing...

It charges wirelessly too

 

[RoobyRoobyRoo]

$129 BWAHAHA they must be smoking crack

Im sorry, Im an Apple fan and owned every iPhone since the 3GS but they've lost touch with reality in recent years.

That's only $10 more than the Mophie ones that are coming out, and these have wireless charging. Why is $129 so absurd?

The Hump is back!

Good it charges wirelessly

Have ordered one for my iPhone XS Max as my iPhone does not last 1 day, when getting home from work I have to charge the iPhone for a few hours to make it last until I go to bed.

Doesnt matter for people not in the market for a smart battery case, but doesnt this kinda crush the compelling reason to get an XR with its longest battery life ever?

That’s not normal for the max

 

[pat500000]

I swear. I think apple watched too many teenage mutant ninja turtles to create this case. Hump case.

No because you can get an XR with battery case with even more battery!

True, haha!

I am genuinely curious how long the combo would last. Its probably absolutely insane

 

[Cryates]

I almost want one, if only to see how far I can stretch my XR battery with it.

 

[Big Bad D]

So Apple design philosophy is for thinner and thinner, at some expense of battery size. And improved battery life solution is then a fatter case at additional cost...

I get a full day easily out of my XS Max and i am quite a heavy user.Some days when i go to bed,i still have 25-30% left.You must have a dodgy one.

 

[dsampley]

My case for the XS Max is on order for delivery on Friday

Apple's product listings confirm that the new Smart Battery Cases are indeed compatible with Qi-certified wireless

 

[dan9700]

cant find it on the UK store

 

[thadoggfather]

Does the XS case work with X ya think?

No reason it shouldnt, except for the camera cut out just being a bit larger.

 

[ericg301]

surprised they didnt wait to announce this with AirPower and AirPods 2. Now is a random time.

Q1 cash grab top off.

Who really needs this....is it that hard to find opportunities to charge during the day. A small battery back is a much more cost effective solution.

The battery case seems like overkill to me but its great to have that option for those that need the juice.
