There is no word on when Apple will be releasing these new battery cases, but it does seem strange that they were not announced alongside the new iPhones. However, it is possible that they could be ready in time for the holiday shopping season, so we will be keeping our eyes peeled for when the accessory is officially launched.
That being said, this year’s iPhones are said to offer up better battery life, with Apple boasting at least an additional four hours. So far, early reviews of the new iPhones have indeed found that Apple’s claims to be somewhat true. However, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t users who might be able to benefit from the added battery life.
There is no word on whether these new cases will sport a new design or if Apple plans on keeping the same design, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
