iPhone 6S Battery Case - Design Failure?

2015-12-08
Wow what's up guys Lew here back with another video and as you can tell in front of me I have Apple's latest creation the iPhone 6s smart battery case I saw pictures of this thing this morning and I was like Jack you know what we're making a video I got a few words to say just a couple all right more than a couple these things look weird I'm sorry Apple was sitting in the factory and they were like hey we got a bunch of leftover rectangular batteries what are we gonna do with them idea battery case not only the iPhone battery in the case of the 6s is pretty small to begin with for a phone that size but then it's like when you come up with a solution it's such an awkward approach it looks like an afterthought here's this big giant lump on the back okay there's no other way to describe it I'm not sure why that is done the way that it is but this is what we have this is what we're dealing with I believe right now it's only available for the 6s I have the two colors in front of me black and white let's open them up these babies are a hundred bucks each hundred bucks so there's a little bit of weight there some soft some soft inside a lightning connector little cutout for the speaker microphone headphone a lightning connector on the bottom to charge this guy up it's got like a rubber ish feel to it and it's not too hard it's kind of bendy actually I mean I'm thinking that things gonna get dirty you put that baby in blue jeans or something or you give something like this to Jack forget it spaghetti sauce gravy and now you can really appreciate that Plateau super weird let's insert an iPhone 6s so you just sort of fold the top a little bit and slide it in okay so you can see here iPhone battery status 53% in charging case status 73% so this is really the only benefit over other iPhone battery cases is that we can see the status right here I much prefer to carry around a separate battery backup like a little could be a little rectangular box I much prefer to have something dedicated that I can stick in my pocket and then get some juice and then put it away let's try the white one out such a weird thing that's happening in smartphones right now where everybody battles to get the thinnest phone works out all these weirdo hacks to get more battery for that phone that really is lasting for nobody this phone doesn't last a day for me doesn't last a day for jak meaning a wide variety of users and in a wide variety of use usages things people do on their phones and and everybody's ending up in the same place halfway through the day needing to plug in I'm getting a phone call right now hello how do you feel about the battery life on your iPhone horrible does it does it make it through a day yeah okay evening dinnertime you're already ready to recharge you're proving my point right now in this video real-world scenario happening for you in real time would completely be fine with a slightly thicker device but this is what we get instead we get Mount Rushmore over here my recommendation just go for one of those battery backups let me get mine real quick just before I go this one is cool because it has built-in cables so you got a built-in lightning cable built-in micro USB another option is one like this even smaller Mount Kilimanjaro Kilimanjaro or Kilimanjaro that's Table Mountain nobody couldn't could have called this if you if you asked a million designers to drop what an Apple battery case would look like an iPhone 6s battery case would look like I don't know that anybody could have predicted this this is shocking stuff right here guys little fired up and then you got to put it in your pocket I'm going to do a pocket test pocket test real quick like these are not super skinny or anything Jack stay away from my jumper you look at all that linked and stuff are you seeing that right now it just picked up like all the fabric on it okay this white material forget it that's a nightmare already I just put that's one time in yeah but this one's not gonna get as dirty I mean still pick stuff up I just don't see how spending $100 on this makes sense I just I don't know I personally would not recommend it all right there you have it apples take on the phone battery case today is a weird day my friends but I'm happy to share it with you thanks very much for watching if you guys enjoyed this video make sure to leave a thumbs up down below and I will catch you very shortly on the next episode later guys
