The Smart Part:
- 增加电池寿命。
工作原理: 带上了 case 之后,iPhone 的电源来源切换成了这个 case 自带的电池,而不再使用 iPhone 本身的电池;别的移动电源/背夹电池所做的,是当人们一边使用 iPhone 的内置电池来使用手机,一边为你的 IPhone 进行充电。
所以两者显而易见的区别就是使用 iPhone 内置电池的次数, 所以 Apple Smart Batter Case 可以减少电池使用次数,从而增加电池使用寿命。
The Good Parts:
- Apple 第一方产品;
- 内置天线,以增强 iPhone 信号(谣传说法,既没有官方的 doc,在拆解的文章中也没有提及);
- 充电接口是苹果官方的 Lighting 接口(市面上绝大多数第三方的移动电源/背夹电池都还是 Micro USB 充电接口)。
The Bad Part:
- 底部耳机的 3.5mm 接口,直径最大只能塞下 Apple 官方 EarPods 耳机接口的尺寸。
The Worth-Noting Part:
- 正式学名:「背夹电池」;
- 底部的扬声器和麦克风的位置,它们处在面对脸的位置,而不像 iPhone 本身,当手握 iPhone 时候,面对地面。

Quora 上的相关问题回答:链接,摘录一部分做了简单的翻译:
…
The most significant difference in Apple’s new battery case is simply that it lacks a switch. You can’t turn the case on or off, merely put your iPhone into it. Once you do that, it starts powering your iPhone. Not necessarily charging it, as I don’t believe that’s the intention of the case design, but actually acting as a power source for your iPhone.
…
Notice the missing step? You’re only recharging your iPhone battery once instead of twice. The fact that Apple’s case doesn’t have a switch means that you don’t really have an option to turn it on when you need it or off when you don’t — if your iPhone is inside the case, it’s being powered by the case. If you do this at the beginning of the day, as soon as you disconnect from the charger, that means that the iPhone remains at 100% until the case battery is depleted, then the iPhone gets powered from its internal battery. The fact that the case is integrated into iOS to provide power status is an added bonus as you get a clearer view as to what your overall battery capacity is.
…
大致意思:早上,你的手机和 case 都是 100% 的电池,出门时候戴上了这个 case,到了中午下午,这个 case 的电池耗尽,不再需要,你摘下,你的 iPhone 还是充满电的状态;case 直接 power 了你的 iPhone。 而重点是,当使用这个 case 的时候,默认使用的就是这个 case 的电池,而是不在使用 iPhone 的内置电池的,或者说,而不是当你一边使用 iPhone 的电池而一边为你的 iPhone 的电池进行 charge 操作。
这样做的好处,原作者的意思差不多是可以增长 iPhone 电池寿命: > In short, many people with battery cases are probably using twice as many charge cycles as they need to. Since the iPhone’s internal battery is rated for a finite number of charge cycles (around 500), this means that you’re probably cutting your iPhone’s overall battery lifespan by as much as half.
技术发展迭代很快,所以这些笔记内容也有类似新闻的时效性,不免有过时、或者错误的地方,欢迎指正 ^_^。
