I wonder how Morphie (and battery cases in general) are doing this year, what with Apple offering $30 battery replacements...
In the past, that was the reason I bought a battery case. Went 2-3 years without a case, then put on a battery case to get another year or two out of the phone before replacing it. This time around, I'm just replacing the battery on my 6+ and expect to use it case free for another year or two before replacing the phone entirely...
They’re never quick. iPhone 6 took 4 months. iPhone 7 was the same physical shape as the 6 with the only difference being the camera area. That one took 3 months. Now we’re on the X and it’s been 4 months now and not a single word directly from them regarding any case. They’re notoriously slow getting their product out.Very strange why only now they are applying for this
Normally Mophie are quite quick off the ball and designing their battery cases
Why has it taken so long...
Plenty of battery cases for the X on amazon that are much.. much sleeker then these.
This is for when you're outside.So it's a battery pack that wirelessly charges your phone but it's already attached to your phone?
So...why not just connect to the charging port?
Agreed. I'd rather have a wire running from the phone to a battery in a pocket on the odd occasion that I need it, instead of having my phone be bulkier and heavier 100% of the time with a battery case.Eh, I'll stick with my trusty Anker portable batteries.
I had a case last year for my 7 Plus that was very thin and it almost doubled my battery life.That's not possible, you need the space for batteries. There's not all of a sudden some magic technique that can shrink batteries.
I have many users that use battery cases. They are away from power and on their phone A LOT. So as someone said it is a niche market, but there are people out that that need them.I think the market for iPhone battery cases is going to die for just those reasons. The X gets such good battery life and wireless charging is so easy, that I think there will be less need for them as well. Mophie may sell enough of these, but there won't be as many as in prior years.
