Apple has just launched a line of battery case for the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max.
Just 2 months after the release of iPhone 11 series phones Apple released these new cases to give a longer battery life. For this year's iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro family, Apple has new versions of these cases - but, this time, they also added a shutter button for the camera.
The new cases feature a similar design to last year's, though have a larger cutout to accommodate for the new dual- and triple-lens camera systems introduced with the iPhones.
Most Android smartphones, of course, can double-press their power button (or other mappable shortcuts) to launch the camera app, and certain other Android smartphones have other creative ways to quick-launch the camera.
Compatible with Qi-certified chargers for wireless charging. On the outside, the silky, soft-touch finish of the silicone exterior of the case feels really great in your hand. Furthermore, you can see the battery percentage of the smart case by using the companion iOS widget on your device. Additionally, the report reveals that both iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will sport rear-facing 3D sensing cameras and will have high-performance 5G mmWave connectivity support. The status of the battery case is displayed on the intelligent battery status on the lock screen of the phone. A temporary press takes a photo and a longer press takes a QuickTake video.
The new cases all share the same price tag: $129. "It works for selfies, too", Apple says in the product details. Once that happens, the phone switches to using its own battery.
