Design and Features
The Apple Smart Battery Case is designed with a focus on functionality and user experience. At first glance, you'll notice the unique design that features a microfiber material inside, along with an LED indicator that shows the current charging status of the device. The lightning connection plug is also prominently displayed, allowing for easy charging of your iPhone. One of the standout features of this case is the rectangular camera cutout, which is specifically designed for the iPhone 11 lineup.
In addition to these design elements, the Smart Battery Case also includes a Lightning port and microphone and speaker cutouts on the bottom of the device. The sides of the case feature tactile volume buttons and a side button that can be used to quickly access various features on your iPhone. Perhaps most notable is the new concave camera shortcut button that has never appeared on a smart battery case before. This button allows for easy access to the camera app, making it one of the quickest ways to capture photos or videos.
Battery Life and Charging
The Smart Battery Case packs in a 1,400 milliamp hour battery, which provides an additional 50% of power to your iPhone. The elastomer hinge makes it easy to put your iPhone inside the case, and the device is compatible with USB Power Delivery fast charging. This means that if you have a Lightning to USB-C cable and connect it to a compatible USB-C power adapter, you can charge faster than normal using just a standard Lightning connection.
The amber LED indicator shows that the device is still charging when it's fully charged, turning green once it's complete and eventually going off when it stops charging. The Smart Battery Case is also compatible with wireless chargers, making it easy to top up your iPhone's battery without having to physically remove the case. You can even use other Mophie chargers to charge your iPhone inside the case.
iOS Integration
The Smart Battery Case works seamlessly with iOS, integrating neatly into your device's ecosystem. There is a notification center widget that shows the current status of the battery, as well as an option in the lock screen that allows you to quickly access this information. Perhaps most notable is the integration with Apple's latest features, such as the camera shortcut button.
With the camera shortcut button, pressing and holding it for about a second launches the camera app, allowing for quick capture of photos or videos. This feature works whether your iPhone is locked or unlocked, making it easy to access the camera whenever you need it. The Smart Battery Case doesn't require a power switch, instead relying on iOS to handle its functionality.
Conclusion
While not everyone may need an extra battery case, those who travel frequently and find themselves running out of power from time to time may find this device to be a valuable investment. With its unique design, functional features, and seamless integration with iOS, the Apple Smart Battery Case is a great option for those looking to extend their iPhone's battery life.
