The real questions should be:

1. Why did the government hire a terrorist?
2. Why did the government not track the terrorist WORK phone?
3. Why did the government not act on the information that the wife of the terrorist openly supported ISIS?


Those are the REAL questions.  Those are the REAL issues that show where the REAL failure is.  Law enforcement had this information or should have know about this information and did nothing. 

It's starting to sound like the twin towers thing. If a situation doesn't make sense then start working on what would make sense even if you're afraid of the answer. If they knew it and didn't act then, was it really a failure? Don't be naive man.

I don't see anybody else mentioning this here and for a review this is a glaring omission, but there is a fundamental difference from the way that the apple battery case operates and how the other cases in this segment function: if both batteries are fully charged, the Apple Smart Battery Case will deplete it's battery before allowing the phone to deplete it's internal battery.  This puts the charge cycles on the external battery, which is cheaper and easier to replace than the internal battery.  This saves you money and keeps your $600+ device younger, longer.  Other options in this segment are designed to recharge your internal battery once it is depleted, adding additional charge cycles to your usage pattern.

You touched on one of the many good features of this case instead of complaining about the "hump". This case clearly had a well thought out design. From the internal antenna, the slim bottom to fit in existing docks, your point regarding how it charges and uses power to the ease of putting on and taking off the case. It's been awhile since Jobs has died and Apple is doing just fine. The MacBook is a wonderful, innovative design regardless of what color you pick. A little underpowered, so was the original MacBook Air, and yet it too was a ground breaking design so much so that Intel had to subsidize other computer manufacturers to get them to compete.  Jobs was a great visionary, but he also had a great engineering and design team. He is gone, but Apple still has a great engineering and design team that still knocks it out of the park. Are they perfect, no, but neither was Jobs. This battery case is great for those that need it, and no it doesn't mean the iPhone has shitty battery life, but rather gives customers that need it another option that incorporates some unique features.  If I needed one, I would probably get it for the lightening connector alone. Why didn't Morphie think of such a simple idea give their experience with battery cases? Or the internal antenna?  Could it be because their products would cost as much as Apple's? Or have they lost their innovation?  Should we be worried about Morphie, given the lead they had in making external battery cases?  With all the products Apple has, it is nice to know they sweat the details with even their accessories. 

People are simply arrogant or dumb to start vomiting not well thought out opinions against a company that is all about design function and design form/aesthetics.

With Apple's history of product conception, how well they craft their products by thinking them over from scratch, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand they simply cannot afford of not doing so at this point. So not departing from that starting point makes for extreme incompetence. Or maybe something else.

All of a sudden the world is full of designers. People are just all too ready to spit venom and defile the knight in shinning armor that Apple still is amidst all the vipers.

I'm not expressing my opinion here about the case, many of the intelligent Apple users like the a.m. have pointed out highly valuable advantages of this case over others. One of which is simplicity! I mean, one must be really mental to describe the lack of an external led light as a disadvantage. That's like stating that one of the Mac Mini's disadvantages is not having a tower case you can open under the desk and be with the butt pointing towards Meca like the other great computers out there. Yes it's that dumb. Yes it's that dissonant or ill intended. Bad faith.

I don't know who bought AppleInsider but ever since there was a management change there seems to be a lurking Anti-Apple agenda.

Even articles from DED sometimes just have murder titles that (don't!) ignore the fact that many people just read the titles and see them in Google News.

I mean this guy has a chip on his shoulder, he starts this pseudo-review with ill intention, almost stating it is a crap product, in hatred. He knows many don't get past the first paragraph. And he certainly doesn't have the well developed brain and intelligence behind Apple design driven engineering and thus its users.

I for one just downloaded the 9to5Mac App and will surely give it a go as my preferred Apple News source. Tired of the lower quality and sometimes simply destructive self serving articles that are on the other end of what I once was used from AppleInsider.

By the way, do you want a shinny iPhone? Well, take the charger off and get a life.
