When Apple introduced unexpectedly Battery Case, people started hating him without any of them ever seeing him or holding him in their hands. I honestly didn't understand what everyone was expecting and how else he was supposed to Apple solve the additional battery, on the contrary I Battery The case seemed like the best possible solution in terms of design out of all the ones I've ever had the opportunity to test, and there have been a few. However, even though I don't mind the design, I'm still not with Apple Battery Case satisfied, by the way, see why in the review below.
Apple Battery The design of the case is based on the classic silicone cover from Applu. The outer part is rubberized and you are all probably familiar with it. The phone does not slip in your hand and is comfortable to hold. The case is put on by bending it about 2/3 and inserting the phone into it and then just pulling the top part onto the phone, so it is made of one piece, which is an advantage compared to the vast majority of cases with an integrated battery.
The case surrounds the entire phone and has a hidden compartment at the bottom. Lightning konewhich means that the phone will be extended by about a centimeter. Since the lower part is covered Apple added cutouts for the microphone and speaker, which are brought out to the front. The phone's buttons are covered and only the volume rocker, camera with LED flash and of course also for the 3,5mm jack konewhich and from below is then Lightning konethrough which you charge both the case and the phone.
ProThe problem is with 3,5mm. jack konebecause the cutout is such that if you have a cable with a tip that is a millimeter thicker than the classic headphones from Appor if your tip is bent, you can forget about using the headphones with the case. Apple in short, he didn't think too much about headphones and decided for you which headphones you can use, which doesn't seem kosher to me.
The case itself is not very heavy and weighs only 103 grams, which is not much, but when you put it on iPhone which weighs 143 grams, you suddenly have a quarter of a kilo in your pocket and that is already noticeable, but on the other hand I understand that the battery simply weighs something, however the overall impression is that the phone has really become quite heavy. As for the much discussed hump, I have to say that I don't mind it at all and on the contrary I like the design solution from AppI like it much more than the solutions of other manufacturers, who made the packaging thick from start to finish, which makes it harder to hold. So, in terms of design, everything seems perfectly fine to me and I have to Apple to praise, despite the fact that I know what a wave of resistance has descended on the design.
How actually Battery Does the case work?
What everyone was wondering was how Battery How the case works and what happens when you put it on your phone. The moment you slide it into the case iPhone, it will automatically start charging and draw power from the case. It doesn't matter how much battery is in the case and how much in the iPhone, in short, in all circumstances the case will discharge first and then the phone, because even if you have iPhone 99% charged, recharging from the packaging.
ProThe problem is that if you use your phone and you don't have to do anything miraculous, just a regular FaceTime call, the iPhone's battery will drain anyway because it's being used. nestachi Battery Case recharge. It discharges more slowly, of course, but it discharges. Battery The case manages to charge the phone in such a way that the battery percentage only increases when you are hardly using the phone or only doing basic functions. As soon as you start using it for something that requires more power, the phone's battery simply discharges more slowly, but the charge percentage does not increase.
So the priority is to charge your phone at all costs, and unfortunately you have no way to prevent it. Other manufacturers often offer the option to turn off or turn on the battery in the package using a special button directly on the package. Everyone has to decide for themselves how interesting this option is, personally I have never seen any benefit in it, however I think it could Apple miniAt least software-wise, we can determine what the phone should draw energy from.
You can see information about the battery status in the iPhone and in the case in the notification center, where, among other things, you also have an overview of the battery status Apple Watch. Of course, the battery status of the iPhone itself continues to be visible in the upper right corner of the phone as long as it has Apple Battery Case at least a percentage of power, you will also see a lightning bolt next to this information, which indicates that your phone is charging from the case. It's a shame that Apple did not allow to include information about the battery status in the case itself directly in the top bar, but what can we do? Unfortunately, while charging the case itself and the phone using lightning cable to check the charge status. Apple Battery Case open notification center.
You can also charge the case separately when you don't have it on your phone. In that case, it informs you about the state of charge using an LED in the inner suede side of the package, which lights up orange during charging and green when fully charged.
Phone and Battery Charge the case at the same time
Once you plug in Battery Case and in it iPhone help Lightning koneconnected to a computer or charger, both devices will start charging simultaneously, i.e. both iPhone, and so does the case. However, you will be pleased to know that this has no effect on the charging speed of the iPhone itself, as it charges at first glance just as quickly as when you charge it without it. Battery Case. The Case itself charges more slowly than the iPhone and its charging only accelerates when it is iPhone fully charged.
Personally, I consider the fact that it is a big advantage over the competition Apple he already considered packaging when he introduced the stand for iPhone and so it is with Battery Case compatible. Plus, you can charge everything Lightning koneand you don't have to have another cable on your desk like most competing cases with an integrated battery.

*On the left picture you can see what charging looks like Apple Battery Case and iPhone 6s, in the right picture you can see how charging is going on iPhone 6s from Apple Battery Case.
How much will the durability be increased?
What seems to me to be the biggest mystery of the whole solution from AppThe fact is that the battery in Apple Smart Battery The case has a larger capacity than the battery in iPhone 6s. So you should logically achieve minialmost double the endurance iPhone 6s using Smart Battery Case, of course Apple it does things really differently, and as you can imagine, you can forget about doubling the life of your iPhone.
Battery in iPhone The 6s has a capacity of 1715 mAh at 3.8V, the battery in Apple Smart Battery The case has a capacity of 1877 mAh at 3.8V. I'm not an electrical engineer and it's clear to me that someone will explain to me why I can't get double the battery life by connecting a second larger battery, but from a purely layman's point of view it's minislightly interesting.
| iPhone 6s | iPhone 6s + Smart Case | Difference | |
| 3G calls | 14 hours | 25 hours | 11 hours |
| LTE surfing | 10 hours | 18 hours | 8 hours |
| Watch HD video | 11 hours | 20 hours | 9 hours |
As you can see, unfortunately you won't see any double values and the stamina will increase by about 75%, which is of course not a small amount, but on the other hand it is miniSlightly strange considering that you attach a second, even larger battery to the iPhone.
Summary
Apple Battery In my opinion, Case is designed for people who simply love Apple and their problem with battery life is that their phone runs out of battery during the day. People who want to go out on Friday and not return until Sunday probably prefer to buy a Powerbank. For a lower price you can get a case with a battery that has almost double the capacity of the Battery Case and works just as well, but it lacks, for example, the ability to monitor its status in the notification center or the ability to charge using Lightning koneFor the first time, you will have to decide whether you are more interested in the price-performance ratio or in the fact that you simply don't have to worry about anything and have a complete solution from Applu, which in this case is a bit expensive and offers little extra compared to competing solutions.
The reason why the phone does not have double the capacity thanks to the case is completely simple and logical to those who know how it works in principle. There are always losses when forwarding energy, i.e. you never transfer energy 1:1. E.g. even today's PC sources have an efficiency of about 85%. It's the same when charging. More energy than the resulting capacity is drawn from the source (it doesn't matter if it's a 220 network or a different accumulator than in this case). It is given technologically. If we wanted to charge a 1700mah battery, I estimate that the source would have to be around +-2200mah
Wart, now hump. What he comes with Apple next time?
This wrap is for people who normally don't wear any wrap. They go on a trip, whether on foot, by bike... so they simply put it on and not only will it protect the phone, but it will provide more energy. In terms of price, when you look at the competition, you will find that Apple for a very similar price it offers simpler handling, lightning konewhich (no need to carry 2 different cables) and integration into the system.
I don't think it's bad in terms of design, especially if the phone is in a backpack.
Yes, Mophie Jujce too Air it costs the same (€109) and has 2750 mAh.
Personally, if I'm going for x days, I take a big power bank. It's enough for a one-day trip Apple solution even if it does not have such a capacity. After all, I don't care if I come home after one day with 20% battery or 50%. Even so, the phone is chargingjacklike every night.
Otherwise, the person always pays the same amount and decides only if it is about capacity or simplicity.
The way I see it is that I will probably have to get the cover for the 7. Now for half a year it has no meaning
