I guess the rumor of a battery case was false! I’m pretty bummed. Just venting.
 
I don’t see it happening. They sold millions of 6+,6s+,7+ and 8+. If they wanted to make a smart battery case, there would have already been one for the plus size phones. Apple only strives to give you 1 day battery life. The smaller phones like the 6/7/8 all got pretty poor battery life due to their overly low mah, so a battery case made sense.

That rumor literally just surfaced days ago and you were expecting Apple to readily have the alleged battery case released before days before Christmas? From a company standpoint, that’s not how Apple typically operates. Also, if those do release, I would expect the battery cases to release alongside other products in 2019.
 
Personally not a fan of battery cases, they often lack in protection. I am a power user who travels a lot and I find a portable charger fits my need for extra battery life. I use a Samsung fast charging portable.

That’s okay. You don’t need to buy one!
 
Thinking I’ll have to upgrade my lil android work phone to a Xr to make it through the day.

Max...I love you...but the battery is trash.
 
I picked up a ZeroLemon battery case for my XS Max for when I travel for now. It will do the job. It's heavy too. lol!
