Apple has, out of the blue, launched Smart Battery Cases for its latest iPhones – the XS, XS Max and the XR. These cases have earlier been reported to be in the works, with people finding evidence in iOS codes.
Apple claims that the Smart Battery Case adds 33 hours of additional talk time, 21 hours of internet usage and 25 hours of video playback. The case for XS Max adds 37 hours of talk time, 20 hours of internet usage and video playbakc of 25 hours. The case for iPhone XR, on the other hand, adds 39 hours of talk time, 22 hours of internet usage and 27 hours of video.
However, these Qi-certified cases will not work with any older iPhone models, 9to5Mac reported – in case you were wondering to get one for your iPhone X, the dimensions are not exactly identical.
These cases are available for customers in the United States to order immediately. So far, there is no official word on whether these cases will make it to our shores.
