With the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR all featuring wireless charging, it only makes sense that Apple built wireless charging into the Smart Battery Case. Some might scoff at the humpback design, and this case will add bulk to your slimline iPhone, but you bought it for extra power and protection, not looks. It effectively extends my phone’s usable life to two days from one; once the case is tapped out, I can just remove it and rely on the XR’s internal battery. The juice pack access battery case gives you extra battery power when you need it at the push of a button. Supports simultaneous charging – Note: No cables included, please use your original charging cable to charge.

Apple has improved its Smart Battery Case by making it compatible with Qi-certified wireless chargers, so no need to remove the iPhone for wireless charging.

The lack of a headphone jack has meant that many have been forced to create cases that lack support for the likes of Apply Car Play and headphones with Lightning connectors, with most using a micro-USB port instead to connect to your computer or for charging. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.

It then charged the phone back up to 90% – enough, we judge, to get you to the next charging opportunity. You can recharge your Juice Pack Access battery case simply by dropping it on any Qi wireless charging pad or by plugging the included charging cable into the USB-C port.Charging the case can be done a couple of different ways, and how the case and your phone work in tandem to both get charged depends on the charging power of your wall adapter.

You get full access to your iPhone's Lightning port, but there's no need to use a cable for the case . I've certainly found my iPhone XR has never needed to be charged more than once a day, even with heavy use and is by far the longest-lasting iPhone I've owned.The internal rubberised support pads protect your phone from drops and falls and the raised corners help prevent scratched and cracked screens. LOCK OUT THE ELEMENTS NOT THE INPUT: Perfectly fitted outputs allow effortless access to your charging port and all other controls. While the length is barely longer than the iPhone XR thanks to it not needing to connect to the latter's Lighting port, it's nearly 20mm or 0. I’m much more likely to use an external battery pack on the off chance I do need to charge up, as it’s much less expensive, has a larger capacity, and can be used to charge devices other than just my phone.

That’s a significant jump from the XR’s already impressive stamina, but since Apple’s battery life estimates can be tough to translate to real-world use, I decided to use the new Smart Battery Case with my iPhone XR for a week to see what it could really do. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). As only authentic components are used, we proudly guarantee the case for compatibility with iOS12 and all future and past firmware updates. Crafted to precisely encase your phone and fitted with a soft microfibre lining to offer full protection. This brings me on to another issue, which is does the iPhone XR really need a battery charging case?I put my iPhone XS Max in my case and there wasn't enough of a charge in the case for the iPhone to recognize it.
