Deals Spotlight: Apple's iPhone XS Max Smart Battery Case Drops to Just $59 at Amazon [Updated]

Really? Not everybody has the same experiences. Best Buy has a 4.3 rating with over 200 reviews.

Worst Apple product I’ve ever owned. Stops charging reliably if you drop it once or twice. Happened to one and stopped working in a month, got it replaced under AppleCare, happened to the other and stopped working in 3 weeks. Gratefully amazon let me return past the return window.

It's a protection case with built-in battery. But many will break down within months (not even run out of warranty) or after a few drops, resulting the iPhone pops up an error message and of course cease its function as battery extension.

It's a $129 (without the discount) liability is what I'm saying. It protects the phone alright, but I don't want that expensive case to also break down within a short time. It's another thing to worry about instead of "insert and forget" that any phone case should be.

So like I said, because it's quite expensive and fragile, Apple might as well sell another protective case for the smart battery case LOL. More money and we get even more obese iPhone as a bonus.

Thanks but no thanks, mate. I'd stick to my Anker PowerCore. Even if it breaks, it's only $20 for 5x the capacity.

All of the smart battery cases from Apple had a ton of 1 star reviews for exactly this.

I’m on my second one. Thankfully it quit working within the 1 year warranty. Unfortunately, the replacement is already starting to sporadically stop charging after about 5 weeks.

I love the concept, but they have some major problems with making what seems like a simple accessory.
