Mophie Releases New External Batteries for iOS Devices

[barkmonster]

My point about not having somewhere to charge is still valid!

Pay less? Lets say I use one mophie pack over the course of a year... that costs me $40, and lets be generous and add another $20 for electricity. Now lets say you buy your battery case for $5, and then use just one pair of batteries a day to recharge your phone, that's $2 a day, so $735 for the whole year including the battery pack itself. Buying a mophie pack would save you almost $700 in a year, $1400 in two years... $7000 in 10 years, you get the picture.

Also, there are people out there that actually care about being green. (I might add that I'm one of them)

That's a non-arguement because the point still stands. How do you think you're going to charge it when the Mophie runs out AND your iPhone is out of juice?

Also, you wouldn't be using batteries to charge your iPhone every single day so those figures are a rediculous exageration!

Now about being green, that powerstation that sends the magic sparks out your wall, that's more than likely using fosil fuels seeing as the percentage of electricity generated by other means such as solar or wind power is insignificantly small.

Anything that requires electricity isn't particularly green whatever you do.

I'm sure batteries must be disposed of in a more environmentally friendly way than simply cramming them down the throat of the nearest whale too.

Let's look at it from you're perspective but with rechargable batteries:-

£2 for the USB battery pack

£7.49 Keyring Charge and Sync Cable

I already have a 4 x AA battery charger and batteries anyway and can't remember what it cost so let's go one further...

£12.99 Uniross Smart Charger + 4 x AA 2700mAh Batteries
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Uniross-Cha...G4/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1316848094&sr=8-10

All in, that's still giving 2 recharges instead of one, dispite the lower mAh rating of the batteries. Once those batteries run out and you can't get anywhere to charge them, you've gone camping for instance, you still have the option of either buying several more packs of rechargable batteries in advance or annoying hippies with a pack of ordinary batteries from a pound shop and using those instead
