Mophie Launches Juice Pack Charging Cases for iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro

[MacRumors]

Mophie today announced the launch of new Juice Pack charging cases designed for the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The Juice Pack for iPhone Air was designed to be slim so it doesn't add too much bulk to Apple's thin and light iPhone. It includes a 2,400 mAh battery that Mophie says provides up to 60 percent more power. The iPhone Air case is 15mm thick, but it is the thinnest of the three Juice Pack cases.

The Juice Pack for iPhone 17 Pro has a 3,000 mAh battery, while the Juice Pack for iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 3,600 mAh battery. Both cases provide 50 percent more battery for Apple's Pro iPhones and are just over 19mm thick. All three cases weigh 98 grams, according to Mophie.

Along with additional power, the cases provide protection for the iPhone 17 lineup. There are raised edges to keep the screen from getting scratched or cracked, and high-impact protection shields the iPhone from drops and bumps. An included lanyard loop port allows for a lanyard to be attached.

Mophie's Juice Pack cases offer passthrough charging, so plugging them into USB-C will charge the iPhone first and then the case. There's also support for passthrough USB-C audio for those who prefer wired headphones.

All three Juice Pack cases are priced at $99.99 and can be purchased from the Mophie website as of today.

These look huge and bulky. No thank you. I’ll keep my Anker and ESR power banks.

There was a time and a place for battery cases. But we’re far past that. If people still buy them, more power to them. But Qi2 power banks, for me at least, are more convenient.

And wow, $99.99. Hefty in price for not a lot of a capacity at all. It doesn’t even have MagSafe.

 

[CharlesShaw]

Will be handy when your iPhone wants to play a fat iPhone in a movie.

The oldest iPhone they sell these for is the iPhone 15, which doesn't make sense. It's the older phones with batteries that are becoming marginal that could really benefit from these.

 

[Boeingfan]

The irony of making one for the Air.

It's a huge help. Previously, I had to wheel around a generator I bought at Harbor Freight just to keep my Air charged. But at least I don't have one of those super-thick iPhone Pros with their massive batteries!

Too bad they had to design these with a chin. Just a normal case from the front but a big chonky curve on the back would actually be kind of a nice look for a battery case.

🥁 good one 😂

Huge cases with itty bitty batteries. Who are these for?

There's actually for the iphone 7, 8 and old SE.

I didn’t even mean to make a pun there, lol

I’ve been waiting for those Mophie Juice Packs for years. Mophie Juice Packs are just legendary batteries that can handle any intensity in terms of usage and lasts you for a very long long time. The quality build is as well is just on another level.

 

[H. Flower]

Those look huge for just 50 percent.

 

[applefan8254]

it would be nice if these had qi2/magsafe built in as well so we could attach our magsafe accessories / phone grips / stands etc as well as being able to do pass through charging via magsafe as well - e.g. magsafe "charges" the case, but the case sends the energy directly up into the usbc port.

edit -
"Integrated Passive Magnet: Built-in magnet provides a secure hold to wallets, vent mounts, stands, and other magnetic accessories."

so it does include a passive magnet. I assume by that, they mean its for non-charging things only? which is still cool, but if they could ever add the ability to charge wirelessly, would be nice.

 

[delsoul]

$100…for…that? I’ll buy a case for $10 and an external magsafe battery for $25. These companies just don’t get it.

I don’t believe so. If I was on the road as much as I used to, this would be tempting. I did have one a long time ago.

Huge cases with itty bitty batteries. Who are these for?

Long distance frequent travelers, people who use their phones for work on the road, stadium workers who use their phones to scan tickets…. On and on and on

 

[SebCohen]

That’s the fugliest phone I’ve ever seen in my life. I’d rather have a Motorola StarTac.

 

[Walkingdead]

I didn’t even mean to make a pun there, lol

Some people are naturally punny.

 

[pamon]

cute to see mophie still around like its 2010

 

[freezelighter]

What the f.....at?

The same battery inside Air is in the MagSafe pack, but according to Apple, it adds “up to 65%” capacity. So, efficiency of wireless chargers is still lacking.
Over all though, battery case and battery pack —wireless or otherwise— each have their perks.

At festivals, for example, I don’t wanna lose the MagSafe pack because someone bumps into me, and also don’t wanna deal with cables either. Battery case is the way to go.

 

[techfirth]

These look horrible.

 

[Gengar]

Slim? 😂

That was wise of you. And you have a case now too lol
