iPhone 6s Battery Case: Explained!

The video provides a detailed look at Apple’s first official iPhone battery case for the iPhone 6s. The host explains that the case offers an 1877 mAh battery, which Apple claims yields roughly one full charge and about 18 hours of LTE web browsing or 20 hours of video playback. Installation is straightforward: you slide the iPhone into the case from the top, and the device then connects via the Lightning port, which is highlighted as an advantage over many third-party battery cases that use micro USB. The video also covers how battery life is displayed in the iPhone’s notification tray for both the phone and the case, emphasizing that this pairing information is communicated to iOS. The host contrasts Apple’s first-party solution with third-party options from Mophie and LifeProof, noting Apple’s decision to gate charging by plug-in, unlike some competitors that allow user-controlled charging. He criticizes the $100 price point, arguing that there are better value options in the same price range, including larger-capacity external packs and more polished third-party cases. The conclusion is pragmatic: while the Apple case is simple and integrates neatly with iOS indicators, it is not the best battery-case value at its price, and users should consider alternatives for more power or features. Links to competing products are promised in the description, and the video invites viewers to share their own experiences with battery cases. The overall takeaway is that Apple’s entry into the battery-case market is functional but overpriced, with several stronger options available depending on user priorities like size, weight, and charging control.
