Apple iPhone XS XS Max Smart Battery Case review: Pretty good if you need the boost

id="cnetReview" section="rvwBody" data-component="indepthReview"> The phượng hoàng cổ trấn Apple Smart Battery Case for the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR is a bulky way to make sure your phone doesn't need a recharge. Apple has done this before, for the iPhone 6S. That battery case was mocked, but it was actually pretty good, if you found its $100 price and slightly bulbous design acceptable.

How long does the battery last?
I've been living with Apple's new and even more expensive $130 iPhone battery cases on an iPhone XS and XS Max over the past few weeks. And you know what? Weeks later, they do the job. They protect the phones, feel sturdy and add a bit of padding. The two battery cases have the same battery capacity (1,369 mAh/10.1 Wh), and in everyday use they ended up lasting just about a whole normal workday, and then dipping into the actual phone's battery at the very end of the day. That means you could use these and not have to charge your phone overnight, if you were ever in a situation where you needed that option. I was on a long flight (9 hours) recently and was able to arrive and still have basically a whole charged phone but with a depleted battery case. Apple claims a combined 39 hours of talk time, 22 hours of phượng hoàng cổ trấn internet use or 27 phượng hoàng cổ trấn hours of video playback for the iPhone XS or 37 hours/20 hours/25 hours on an XS Max. It's kynghidongduong.vn nothing like the massive battery capacity of a stand-alone charger, but in real-life use it's a bit more than I expected.

As to how long the battery lasts over time ... that remains to be seen. Also, how will the case's rubberized construction hold up after a few months or more?
