It's great that we are all here today! And as true connoisseurs of the operating system Android and devices on it, we can calmly discuss the situation around the company's new product Apple. And there is something to discuss, because Apple they have just presented an accessory that claims, without false modesty, for several nominations in the 'horror horror' award at once (if such existed). This device can take first place in the categories 'scariest product of the year', 'most ridiculous official accessory' and, of course, in the category 'worst combination of price and quality'. This is a branded case with a built-in battery for a smartphone Apple iPhone 6S.
You need to start with the design, because when we say 'Apple' we mean 'Design'. Something went wrong here. Take a look at the official renders of the battery cover – it looks generally okay, but this hump on the back is already embarrassing. There is no that grace and elegance that is inherent in all iPhones, even the newest ones. Two colors – white and dark gray, in this regard, everything is fine. The main material is plastic, covered with silicone and this is the second moment where something went wrong. For Apple iPhone there are hundreds, no, even thousands of covers: made of silicone, plastic of different textures, metal and different types of wood, choose – I don't want to. The cheapest material was chosen in Apple. Judging by the first pictures and videos of the branded cover, the silicone here is of a sad quality – easily soiled, collecting prints, in short, cheap. To summarize, we get a terrible design and cheap materials in a branded battery case from Apple.
Go ahead. According to unconfirmed information so far, but there is still no reason not to trust it, the capacity of the battery built into the case is slightly less than 2000 mAh. More precisely – 1877 mAh. That is, quite a bit more than directly in Apple iPhone 6S. This is enough for about 25 additional hours of talking time on a smartphone or about 18 hours of 'sitting' on the Internet via LTE. Well, if it's simpler, then the external battery will provide about 60-70 percent of the extra battery life from the standard value for a smartphone. In general, it's not bad if you close your eyes to the ugly design and cheap silicone.
And here we are faced with the main problem. No, this is not a high cost, as you might think. iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case costs only $ 100, about 7000 rubles, which is expensive in principle, but normal for a branded ™, certified ™ and presented on the official website Apple accessory. Don't intimidate iPhone users! The fact is that the site Apple also has a lot of cool covers from Mophie. And among them there are many models with a built-in battery, an indication of the battery charge level, a switch that allows you to turn on or off the process of charging a smartphone battery from an external battery and, most importantly, with a normal design and materials. There are different colors, different body shapes, all without an incomprehensible hump, made of smooth plastic, matte, glossy, golden, black, red, and so on. These accessories cost an average of $ 100-120 and are equipped with batteries with a capacity twice as large as it offers Apple in its proprietary case (about 3300 mAh). So the main problem with the iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case from Apple is that this scary battery case will compete with the otherwise best priced cases from Mophie.
And I want to finish this little material with the phrase of astronaut John Leonard Swygert: 'Houston, we have a problem'! It seems that some pests have crept into Apple, it is simply impossible to explain otherwise the appearance of such a cover within the company.
