蘋果推出iPhone6s電池盒

　　It seems that even Apple is frustrated with the iPhone's abbreviated battery life.

　　The Cupertino company on Tuesday joined a cadre of accessory makers and released a new battery case for its smartphone. The $100 case, designed for the iPhone 6s, the smaller of the two current iPhone models, promises to boost the device's talk time to 25 hours and its Internet time over the cell phone networks to 18 hours. Without the battery pack, Apple promises the phone will give 14 hours of talk time and 10 hours of Internet usage. But many owners find that they often get less than that.

　　The case's design seems a bit out of step with Apple's typical aesthetic. It only comes in two colors — white and black. And rather then mimicking the slick, thin design of the phone and other Apple products, it packs the battery in a bulge on the back.

　　The case does offer some advantages over its competitors. An iPhone can recognize when it is attached to the case, and when it displays its remaining battery power, it will reflect the boost the case provides. To ensure that it doesn't degrade a users' cell phone signal, the case includes a built-in antenna. And unlike many cases, it can be charged with the same Lightning cable that is used to power the iPhone itself.

　　But other battery cases and battery backups provide far more power for the same or less money. While Apple's battery case has a 1877 mAh battery, Mophie's Juice Pack Reserve has one that's nearly as big - 1840 mAh - but costs just $60. For $100, users can get Mophie's Juice Pack Air, which has about 50 percent more battery power than Apple's case. Oh, and Mophie and other manufacturers also offer battery cases for iPhone 6s Plus; Apple isn't making one for it's jumbo-sized phone.

　　And that's not to mention that some other phones offer much longer battery life without needing an extra case. Motorola's Droid Maxx 2 has a built-in 3630 mAh battery - which is more than double the reported capacity of the iPhone 6s's battery. Maybe Apple could think about making more room for a battery inside of its phones, instead of making them ever thinner.

　　蘋果公司本身仿佛也對iPhone非常短的電池壽命覺得挫敗。

　　本地時光12月8日，一家處於庫比蒂諾的公司效仿一眾配件制作商，宣布了針對蘋果電話的新款電池盒。這個售價100美元的電池盒專為iPhone 6s計劃，據稱能將裝備通話時光晉升到25小時，將電話上彀時光延伸到18小時。而沒有這個電池盒，蘋果電話通話時光為14小時，收集使歷時間為10小時。不外許多用戶發明他們的電池使歷時間遠低於這個數值。

　　該電池盒的計劃仿佛與蘋果典範的美學主義扞格難入。它只有兩種色彩——黑與白，也沒有如iPhone及別的蘋果產物那般滑膩浮滑的形狀，而只是將電池貼在背部，凸出一塊。

　　比擬別的競爭者，這款電池盒切實其實有一些上風。當貼在這款電池盒上，iPhone便可辨認它。當電話表現殘剩電量時，它還會表現電池盒供給的分外電量。為了確保它不會削弱用戶電話旌旗燈號，電池盒包括一個內置天線。與許多電池盒分歧，它能應用iPhone充電線。

　　但是，別的品牌的電池盒、備用電池可以供給更多貯備電量，有的價格也更廉價。蘋果電池盒容量為1877毫安，而供給險些雷同容量(1840毫安)的Mophie的Juice Pack Reserve只須要60美元，而用戶花100美元可以購置到Mophie的Juice Pack Air，後者供給的電量比蘋果電池盒多50%。別的，Mophie和別的制作商還為iPhone 6s Plus供給電池盒，而蘋果今朝還沒有有此類產物。

　　更不消提無需電池盒便可供給更長電池壽命的其他電話。摩托羅拉Droid Maxx 2具有3630毫安的內置電池——這約莫是iPhone 6s電池容量的兩倍多。大概蘋果可以斟酌在電話內部為電池多留出一些空間，而不是一味的將電話做薄。
