Teardown of Apple's Smart Battery Case exposes 1,877mAh battery, simple design
From what I was told in the store yesterday, when you put it on a fully charged iPhone, it will use the case battery first, in essence, acting like your phone is plugged in. So this should, again, in theory, save the internal iPhone battery charge cycles.jfc1138 said:While some of the ongoing features make the case an interesting one for someone who REALLY burns through power(draining the case first, easily displaying the power level stuff of both the device and the case), I'm not a fan of burdening the phone that way and prefer, for my use case anyway (a long travel day for instance) a simple battery stick I can plug into the phone when, or if, it's getting low and otherwise just have that rattling around at the bottom of my messenger bag or wherever. Keeping the phone pocket light is a plus IMHO.
