iPhone XS Smart Battery Case! $129 Brick or Beast? #Helpful Post

hey what's up guys I've got here the new

iPhone 10's max smart battery cases in

this video I'd like to take a look at

those see they feel how they perform

just give you a little idea of what this

case is about and is it worth a hundred

and twenty nine dollars so originally

this thing leaked through some of beta

release leaks and we modelled it now I'm

curious to see how it compares to those

models all right let's peel this off

$129 it's no chump change Mophie cells

case is very similar for Less but this

is Apple's the software integration is

there I'm more than positive this thing

will integrate with air power as well

you'll get some custom fancy animations

and whatnot so you really cannot replace

Apple's integration and here's the white

one which I'm most likely going to be

using for a short little while on my

iPhone okay so it's definitely different

while very different so the Lightning

port is now staggered it's off towards

the bottom and the hump is not so much

like a little bump it molds into the

sides now it's more elegant but as a

result you're gonna feel the bulk I feel

a little bit more because you're holding

on to this huge chunk enough a layer to

one over although very very similar and

slip it on to ours definitely here so a

brand new 10s max for this brand new

case taking a look inside here it's 1369

milliamps so this is a smaller capacity

than the last one believe it or not

Apple went from a thousand eight hundred

and seventy-seven milliamps to two

thousand three hundred and sixty five on

the iPhone 7 one and how they dropped it

back down to one thousand three hundred

and sixty nine that is quite wimpy of a

size but the watt-hours have actually

improved from the last one so that's

where you're gonna be getting most of

your efficiency increases and that's why

the numbers are so good even though the

milliamps are so bad

again this accessories not supported by

this device and the more than

positiveness because this is on an old

firmware so yeah you're probably gonna

have to update your device do not get

this case if you're saving your device

for a jailbreak now my iPhone tennis

I'm 12.1 in anticipation of the

jailbreak let's see if it does work on

that one yeah it slips on very similar

you're gonna be doing this a lot and I

hope that's not gonna tear it with time

it is silicon so it is pretty flexible

loose let's try my iPhone on 12.1 I hope

I don't have to update it to use this

because that would be garbage I'm not

getting that symbol yeah so I'm on 12.1

it's not charging my iPhone but that's

because the battery case is dead out of

the box so it will work with I was

twelve point one not twelve point 0.1

alright I'm gonna go ahead and charge

this and I'll be back in a second

alright so it's been around 15-20

minutes and the case is now at 32% was

just a second ago now at 30% so it seems

to be like after 80% battery charge on

your phone it prioritizes charging the

case instead of your phone and it kind

of trades off and that's what you're

paying for here what you're getting is

that software integration that's

software handling how iowa's handles the

battery charge and it's quite now it's

not having to worry about that stuff

with a different case you have to be

messing with power buttons turning them

off and on and I guess if some people

really like that control I just like to

not think about things most of the time

have it run in the background and it

works pretty well

okay impressions like this thing is

chunky without a doubt it is heavy it is

chunky it leaves a huge crater or

reverse crater in your pocket like is

that a phone or am I just excited to see

you guys case is extremely thick and

it's basically like apples silicon case

with this added bump on the back I think

I'll get used to it

but I reminded again why I hate silicon

cases stuff sticks to them all this dust

and that's gonna be hard to live with so

for the people wondering about reverse

capability with the iPhone 10 first off

you will not have the speaker grille

cutouts you will not have all the holes

for them so that might look a little

uneven the camera itself is gonna look

out of place

I don't have a ten

sighs that's not the Mack so I can't

really show you but it will work it will

work you're just gonna have to settle

with those two little things also you'll

have to be on total point 1.3 beta in

order for it to work there is this let's

pop it out of the white women try out

these Peaks gray one is Apple really

saving that much money by helping these

dead

there is no juice in it whatsoever but

okay I kind of like the black one I

don't think a little bit more yeah yeah

this is much more subtle and I feel like

I won't see all the lint and dust that's

gonna come out of your pocket I'm you

pull it out okay so definitely gonna

stick with the black one why is this one

so much harder to take off okay so

here's one more thing that I wish is

that this would always stay on the

screen you can only see that when you

plug it in to charge or plug the case in

and you can see it in the widget or here

but it'd just be nice for Apple to

integrate it more with the software and

that's the cool thing is that going

forward you might see that you know the

software could support that in the

future theoretically and I'm I'm hoping

it does overall though I'd say

impressions are good 129 dollars is a

lot to ask for but this does have

wireless charging attitude and I wanted

to try that out so got the Samsung pad

here does does support the Qi wireless

charging standard and the cool thing is

is that it does support USB power

delivery as well so you'll be able to

charge this at full fast charging speed

okay there we go so it does work with my

samsung wireless charger and it should

work with any cheese supporting wireless

charger in the future cool so yeah I'm

gonna try this out I'm gonna use it you

know going from a super ultra light in a

carbon fiber case to this is quite a

transition but the reason I'm excited to

use this case is because I always have

to keep my screen brightness a little

bit lower than usual just because my

battery would need to be charged twice

throughout the day with how much I use

it and this way I can keep the screen

brightness up not have to worry about

that at all just have it be a background

process I would say $129 is a stretch

but considering it does give you a

better bad

life and even though the capacity is

less being a two cell design it's still

giving you a very adequate battery life

what Apple says 37 hours of talk 20 of

Internet's and 25 of video so yeah I

would say I preferred this over any

third-party battery case we'll have to

see how it stands up to the test of time

but quality does seem good my dad is

still using the smart battery case on

his iPhone 6s that I gave him like years

ago and he's having zero problems with

it so I expect this one to have no

problems you know down the road either

all right I'd say definitely a solid buy

but do be prepared for the bulk this

thing is extremely heavy it's like a

brick but the fact that it has wireless

charging makes it so much easier to live

with I think so thanks for watching guys

there it is the Apple smart battery case

a solid yes for me and I personally am

gonna be using it now so very cool Apple

thank you
