Apple has a case to double your iPhone's
battery life for double the price I am
Bridget Carey this is your scene that
update do you feel like your iPhone is
always running out of juice too quickly
does it need a charge before you get
home from work well the battery was
never strong suit for the iPhone 6 and
6s and now Apple has unveiled its very
own battery case to give you an 80%
power boost it's the first time Apple is
making a battery case but it's a bit
silly how expensive it is Apple's new
case is $100 whereas you can get good
cases for cheaper from other makers like
the Mophie Juice Pack reserved for 60
bucks shown here and for $100 it's not
like the design is impressing anyone
with that big ol bump in the back the
advantage is that it's soft so it's easy
to take on and off and you can charge it
with the same lightning cable whereas
other battery packs use micro USB cords
the downs are the same as some other
cases it can block some headset jacks
from fitting in right
and speaking of fitting in you know what
else didn't fit in with your phone
