Will Apple replenish stock of smart battery case or discontinued?

The iPhone 7 Smart Barttery case is still on Apples website, but it’s been unavailable for months. Now that the 2022 iPhone SE has been announced and it uses the same chassis, will Apple bring it back?

Fortunately I still have two brand new ones that I got for $40 when Best Buy clearanced them out. I’ll use them once I decide to upgrade from my 2020 iPhone SE.

With the A15 and slightly larger battery, the 2022 iPhone SE is going to a beast for battery life with this case.

It’s a shame they got rid of the best accessory they sold.

So it is discontinued? Or just sold out?

I don't think they'll bring it back on stock. They'll focus on Magsafe.

But the iPhone SE 2022 isn’t MagSafe compatible. Welp, glad I saved these two cases to use in the future.

Tried getting hold of the iPhone 11 smart battery case here in UK - can't be found for love nor money new, only either used or 'as new' via ebay and similar resellers. We've got a couple of international holidays booked this year and was looking for one for my wife's iPhone 11 (as much for the 'all in one charging' single charger convenience in hotel rooms, rather than needing to charge her phone and a power bank device seperately). Not even the more reputable resellers such as CEX are carrying them any more.

Looks like I'll have to go the latter route of getting a seperate power bank and sorting her out with the required cables etc. Son & I have a 12/13 Pro respecively, so we'll likely go the first party Magsafe battery pack route.

Keep them charged to 50% if you want to preserve them for later use.
