With this USB-C case, your Lightning iPhone can be charged with about 9V instead of 5V
Of course this makes sense

Fellow 13 mini user. Let us know how it goes for you. Never did like lanyard loops though.
As a 13 mini owner my use case and preference means I won't get the case, but I can see why some would. The main reason I will continue to keep this phone, however, I don't like larger phones. Would be willing to move up to 5.6" or so but not to 6" or more. All I want is this phone or similar with new battery chemistry and an updated proc. Apple giving the phone the "mini" name threw people, I know from experience that people think this phone is smaller because of the name. Drop the "mini" name, up to 5.6" or so and add USB-C.
The persistent negativity is mostly a reflection of their happiness level off the forum. Having a "disagree" button in the comments was a mistake—too easy for those who view everything through a negative lens to keep up their habit. If the mods here can go back to simple "Like" button where those who dislike something for whatever reasons are forced to article themselves in words it would only improve the forum. (watch them "disagree")

Nah, those phones will be obsolete before we know it. Waste of time.
Are you not reading the actual article or clicking through to the source?
It already is available for purchase
I bought one yesterday.
I'm considering this product even though I don't normally like or use a case! I usually travel with an iPad in addition to my phone, this would let me reduce two cables to one. Which probably sounds like a small thing, but there's also lots of fiddling around to select the right cable out of the bag, swap on and off the charger, and so on. Big win.
When someone decides to use a case instead of endangering their older iPhone it is indeed a big win.
almost certainly not. a case is not going to have voltage conversion circuitry.
It arrived and it's very nice.
I love the subtle texture feel and the fit and finish is super.
The buttons all work and feel great and are very clicky and tactile and fits tight as a glove -- a perfect fit.
It also very much has the stronger magnetism that was advertised. I noticed that right away vs my Apple MagSafe case that got removed. I tested syncing and charging via USB-C and it was flawless.
This is a great product.
I'll report back if there's more to say when I'm out and about using it in the days/weeks ahead.

Mine hasn't even shipped yet, so I've been here living vicariously through you. Some people have all the luck.
I just got impulsive and lucky that I like it so much.
More and more USB-C has entered my life, so it sounded appealing ... and my Apple leather case was falling apart ... all just came together!
