Apple Releases Smart Battery Cases For iPhone XS and iPhone XR

Now, Apple can help you overcome iPhone X's battery issue with its new smart battery cases.

While the iPhone XR packs a long-life battery, the iPhone XS’ battery is not that good. To overcome this problem, on Tuesday, Apple introduced smart battery cases used for the iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, and iPhone XR.

The cases are currently priced at $129 (£129, AU$199), which equals over Rs 9,100.

 

They are available in two colors: black and white. The new battery cases are also compatible with Qi charging and include lightning-out ports.

In addition, Apple says that they can work with USB-PD flash charging systems, perhaps through Lightning to USB Type C adapters.

These cases also come with a battery bulge that you may find familiar as it appeared on the iPhone 6S.

Similar to the previous line of smart battery cases, Apple gives them the ability to charge independently through the Lightning charger, which the iOS will show as ‘battery’ widget. Plus, the cases will discharge its battery before it starts charging the phone.

Mophie is also expected to released battery cases for iPhone XS and iPhone XR.

Since the iPhone 7, this is the first time Apple has produced its own smart battery cases and it also makes a larger model to pack the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR.

Last year, it was proved that the iPhone XS had battery issues. Particularly, Apple said the phone’s battery would outperform all of its previous iPhones, extending battery life to 30 minutes more. According to Tom’s Guide’s test, however, the XS’ battery ran out quickly than advertised.

The test indicated that the XS lasts only nine hours and 41 minutes. This result is worse than the average battery life of the X series, which is nine hours and 48 minutes. And it is even worse than 2017’s iPhone X, which shows a battery life of 10 hours and 49 minutes.

The photo below shows full results with phones arranged in order from the longest to shortest battery life.
