What's poor about it? And what would your design look like?

I think its more of a reaction to marketing pics. There’s that “Apple Magic” that tends to make us forget about reality so when you see this as the ONLY official product picture you don’t think of how thick the actual battery needs to be.I’m really surprised by these comments. What thickness were you expecting?
Why? You make a blast comment and nothing to support why.this is the most idiotic move by apple
When you go out you could be on holidays, and you would be taking lots of pictures, recordings, and looking for info in Maps. No need to just think about your normal day by day. It could be a nice easy battery pack that you can put in the side pocket of your backpack and connect it while your eating or using the public transportI get through an entire day on an overnight charge with my iPhone X. What are people doing with their iPhones to justify this inconvenience? When you go out, you meet friends, you take a group selfie first, sit down, eat, talk about careers, life, gossip; during all this you might check your phone one or two times. Maybe walk around town then just before you leave, you all take another group selfie. If you are taking public transportation or walking home, you might look at email, death scroll a bit on IG or Facebook. But it should not warrant needing this.
Makes more sense than the Smart Battery Cases in that these can be used with any iPhone 12.It looks like its been taken over by a parasite. Li ke one of those parasites that replace the tongue of a fish.
Worse looking than the integrated 'Hump' battery cases from some years ago.
no, actually, it's not. it won't even give you one full charge.I have several photoshoots planned in places where charging my phone is not going to easy for several days. This is better than carrying a Anker portable battery. I'm wondering however, what "additional hours of battery life" means exactly.
A wireless charger makes more sense. costs 20 bucks and 0-maintenanceI’ll be getting one for my wife, as he 12 Pro can’t quite make it through the day when she’s at work. She’s not one to have or use Lightning cables, so this will be easy for her to keep attached while the phone sits on her desk.
yeah, cuz the camera jutting out looks great /s.Nope and no thanks. My needs, and no doubt the majority of other Apple customers, do not require a substantially thicker phone and the runtime its larger battery would provide.
That battery pack is designed for those who do. And for them, it's a great solution.
Honestly, I don’t think iPhone 12 should be any thicker. It has great battery life too, easily lasting a whole day unless I use it every minute of the day. This battery pack is of course only supposed to be used in emergency situations when there’s no access to power for at least 2 days. In emergencies, perhaps I can accept a super thick phone.Holy cow! Apple should just make the phone a little thicker and put more battery in it, instead of selling a product that makes the phone look like a pregnant whale.
yeah, cuz the camera jutting out looks great /s.
make the phone uniformly thick, increases the battery life, no more camera sticking out.
if that makes the phone too heavy for you, i suggest hitting the gym.
I did. it'll live in my bag and and when my phone dies, I'll hook it up. or when I'm roaming some back alley, creeping from shadow to shadow, if my phone dies, I'll pull out of my pocket and hook it up for a few minutes.Imagine spending $99 on it…
