Apple releases updated Smart Battery cases for 2019 model iPhones, incorporate wireless charging, physical camera button features

Apple on Wednesday launched its line of Smart Battery case for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max handsets. While the cases look very similar to last year’s cases, they arrive in pink, white, and black colors, feature wireless charging support and offer a physical button that automatically opens the iPhone’s camera app when pushed — even if your phone is locked.

If you turn the phone horizontally for a shot, your right index finger should naturally rest right near the button’s location on the case. Holding it down will start recording a video using the new QuickTake feature available on this year’s iPhones. 

The new Smart Battery cases retail for $129, with Apple stating they can expect “up to 50 percent” extra battery life using them.

If you happen to snag one of the new cases over the next few days, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
