The new MFi battery case differs from the Access series in that it’s got a Lightning port instead of USB-C, meaning iPhone owners no longer need to carry two cables on them.
Accessory maker Mophie, which specializes in chargers, cables and battery cases, today unveiled nearly half a dozen new products, ranging from a Qi-enabled wireless charging pad for iPhone, a pair of car chargers for on-the-road travelers and a bunch of USB cables.
This case increases the total number of run time on your iPhone while offering protection from dings and scratches, wireless charging and full access to the Lightning port.
The new battery pack from Mophie features a fast-charging USB-C port, two USB-A ports and Qi wireless charging, allowing you to juice up four devices simultaneously.
Reputable Bloomberg reporters have corroborated earlier rumors that 2019 iPhones might feature bilateral wireless charging allowing the user to charge their AirPods by placing them on the back of the phone.
Maple is a beta jailbreak tweak that brings the AirPower-style accessory charging interface to your jailbroken handset’s Lock screen.
To support bilateral wireless charging, the new iPhones released later this year should feature bigger batteries.
In addition, the iPhone lineup for 2019 should include Apple’s 18-watt power adapter compliant with the USB Power Delivery protocol, but the phones won’t switch to USB-C, yet.
To get the AirPower trademark, Apple even went to court but it ultimately had to purchase access from a company that had previously applied for the trademark.
A change of the promotional image hidden in the Apple.com source code indicates, if anything, continual development of the company’s elusive multi-device charging mat.
The option of a wireless charging case that lets you top up the battery using any Qi-compatible charging solution is also available to existing AirPods owners.
The new AirPods deliver 50 percent more talk time, hands-free Hey Siri and the option of a new Qi wireless charging case.
