**Smart Battery Case Review: A Game-Changer for iPhone Users**

When it comes to extending the battery life of your iPhone, most users would agree that having a spare battery on hand is the way to go. However, not everyone needs or wants to carry around an additional device. That's where the Smart Battery Case comes in – a revolutionary accessory that seamlessly integrates with your iPhone to provide hours of extra power.

One of the standout features of the Smart Battery Case is its ability to charge lightning quickly, but when it comes to charging wirelessly, this case is no longer limited to just one method. With the addition of Qi-enabled wireless charging capabilities, users can simply place their phone on a compatible charger and start recharging. I was able to test out the Wireless Charging feature with a Mophie charger, and I was impressed by how quickly it worked. Within 10 minutes, my iPhone 10s Max was up to 10% charged.

However, one thing to note is that users need to resist the temptation to place their phone directly on the battery bump. Instead, they should position the case so that the phone's keys are aligned in the middle of the charger. This may require a bit of finagling, but it ensures that the charging process works efficiently.

After testing out the Smart Battery Case, I was thoroughly impressed with its design and functionality. The all-screen iPhone design looks sleek and refined, with no home button or chin to distract from the clean lines. The back of the device is also more refined, with a battery that extends all the way to the edges of the case. This not only looks great but also provides a comfortable fit in the hand.

One thing to keep in mind is that the Smart Battery Case does make the iPhone even larger and more unwieldy. As an owner of a large-hand iPhone 10s Max, I can attest to this. However, if you're struggling with battery life on a daily basis, this case is a godsend. With its 10.1-hour battery capacity, it's a significant upgrade from the standard iPhone.

The Smart Battery Case also features smart technology that integrates seamlessly with your iPhone. The battery widget provides real-time information about your phone's and case's battery status, eliminating the need for ambiguous LED indicators. iOS will even alert you to low battery levels on both devices, ensuring that you stay connected throughout the day.

What's particularly impressive about this case is its ability to intelligently manage power distribution to your iPhone. Unlike other battery cases, it doesn't wait until your phone is almost dead before charging. Instead, it top-offs your phone's battery when needed and powers it even when it's sitting at 100%. This means that you don't need to intervene or adjust settings; the case does all the work for you.

However, there are some downsides to consider. At $130, this case is certainly not cheap. Additionally, its bulkiness may be a turn-off for those who value a slim and lightweight design. And for iPhone 10 owners, unfortunately, Apple has no Smart Battery Case available – although the iPhone Xs Max version does work.

In conclusion, the Smart Battery Case for new iPhones is the best smart battery case that Apple has made yet. The designs are better, it has an even more powerful battery, and it supports wireless charging. While not everyone needs a smart battery case with today's iPhones, especially those like the iPhone 10s Max and X, this accessory is sure to be a game-changer for those struggling with battery life on a daily basis. If you're in the market for a new phone case that can help extend your device's lifespan, look no further than the Smart Battery Case.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe new smart battery case is it worth 130 bucks thanks for watching nine-to-five Mac be sure to thumbs up click the subscribe button and then enable notifications with the bill icon so you won't miss any upcoming videos how's it goin ladies and gentlemen boys and girls this is jeff benjamin with the nine-to-five mac here is the iphone 10's max smart battery case this is a third-generation smart battery case coming after the original iPhone 6s version in the iPhone 7 version there was no iPhone 10 version unfortunately and that's been mapped with a little bit of controversy over this release we'll talk about that a little later so here is the iPhone 10's max smart battery case let's go ahead and unbox it here you just take off the little tab and pull up like that and here it is here it is unbox this is the black version of the smart battery case for the 10 s max there's also a white version and it's also available for the 10s and the 10 R so let's go ahead and pull it out of the box just like that I'll set the Box aside and if you're familiar with the smart battery case from the previous generations then you will see that this one is a little bit different design wise for the better it also provides a 10.1 wide hour battery which is an upgrade over the iPhone 7 version unless to do how we always do for these unboxings and take a look at the documentation so first of all you have a little tip card basically just showing you how to place the iPhone inside the case and then you have the smart battery case manual and then you also have some regulatory information which is right here that's a fun read alright so let's go to the manual and you can see basically tells you how to use the case how to charge the case etc but we don't need to go through all that because I'm going to show you how to use it in this video so let's put the documentation aside and let's talk about some of the characteristics of this case first of all you have that nice microfiber lining inside to protect your iPhone and you place it inside you have of course a lightning port and a lightning connector and you have asymmetrical holes on the bottom of the case for speaker output and micro in put that in and of itself is a big change from the design of the previous generation smart battery case you'll also find a vertical camera cutout another first for the smart battery case and then all your buttons are there as well like previous versions you also notice the same LED indicator right above the lightning connector and you have that same elastomer hinge design at the top of the case for easily inserting and removing your iPhone so let's talk about some of the big changes to come to the smart battery case in generation 3 first of all you're gonna notice that the battery on the back now meets the edges of the bottom left and right corners for a much more refined design than the previous iterations to keep it all the way real the previous versions seem more like a prototype design wise whereas this one seems like a real Apple product the biggest change however is how the new case ditches that awkward looking chin at the bottom of the older version but one thing about that chin that was actually kind of cool is how it routed the audio from the speaker and made it essentially a front facing speaker with the new case accentuating the all screen footprint of modern iPhones that of course is no longer needed now you can charge this case with the iPhone in or with the iPhone out it doesn't matter but you'll see a little LED indicator if you're charging the case by itself like this now when using the USB C to lightning cable with the USB C 29 watt adapter I was able to charge from 0% to 15% in 10 minutes but when it comes to charging lightning is no longer the only way this case is now compatible with Qi enabled Wireless charges like this Mophie charger so I just sit it on there and it starts charging I was able to get about 10% in 10 minutes so the addition of wireless charging compatibility is a huge upgrade but one thing you want to do is to resist the temptation of policing the smart battery case down on the wireless charger like that you actually want to place it so that the case is right in the middle now this is challenging because you know you're generally tempted to place it right there on that little battery bump but you don't want to place it right in the middle of the battery bump you actually want to place it closer to the middle of the keys itself so it will charge so let's go ahead and place our iPhone 10 s max inside the case you can use that elastomer hinge to easily slide it in just like that and just apply a little bit of force and then you can just pop the top portion of the case right over the top edge of the iPhone and we're good so here we go now I think these all screen iPhone designs look great inside the smart battery case it doesn't look nearly as busy on the front there's no home button no chin and the back of the device is much more refined with that battery that extends all the way to the edges of the case so you can see that vertical camera cutout here it is turn it around I think it looks good it's large but it looks good it's a little unwieldy but it looks good actually it's pretty comfortable to hold in the hand as well with that design on the back and the refined battery bump makes it a little bit more comfortable to hold a make no mistake though this thing is still massive it is a gargantuan and even though I have large hands it is still like a huge device because the iPhone 10's max was already massive this just makes it a little bit more massive so keep that in mind it's gonna be unwilling in the hand in in the pockets as well but if you find yourself running out of battery life on a day to day basis then this case with its 10.1 wide hour battery goes a long way towards fixing that and if you don't believe me take a look at this chart and you can see over the years how the smart battery case has helped add true all-day battery life to your iPhone and what's great about this case is that it features a smart battery so it's not just a dumb battery case but it's a smart battery case you get iOS integration so you have that little battery widget it will tell you the status of your battery you don't have to rely on some ambiguous LED indicators to tell how much charge is remaining and iOS will alert you a battery status for both the phone and the case right on the lock screen so that's convenient as you can see there but it goes beyond that the smart battery case is truly smart in fact it works like an extension of your iphone therefore you just insert your iPhone and it starts working there are no settings to configure there's no buttons to interface with best because it intelligently manages power distribution to your iPhone in other words the smart battery case doesn't wait into your iPhone is about to die before it begins to charge instead the case is designed in a way that causes it to top off your iPhone's battery when needed and at times power your iPhone even when it's sitting at a hundred percent so in a nutshell it doesn't rely on a user to manage wind to deliver power it does so itself and it's tightly integrated with iOS the smart battery case is great but there are some downsides to consider first of all it's 130 bucks so it's not cheap secondly it's bulky so it makes an already large device like the 10s max or the 10 are even more bulky and awkward and then finally for you poor iPhone 10 owners Apple basically dissed you guys there is no iPhone 10 smart battery case and while the iPhone 10's version does work it's not a perfect fit to conclude the smart battery case for the new iPhones is the best smart battery case Apple's made yet the designs better it has an even more powerful battery and it supports wireless charging now that said I don't think most people need a smart battery case with today's iPhones especially iPhone 10's max and 10 are owners chances are your phone already lasts all day as it is but if you struggle to make your iPhone last throughout the day you'd be hard-pressed to find a better solution than the smart battery case what do you guys think do you agree do you disagree let me know down below in the comments this is Jeff with
