The cases are priced at $129 for all three phones. Further, the iPhone XS/Max/XR Smart Battery cases are available in white and black.
Apple touts that the new Smart Battery case for the iPhone XS adds 33 additional hours of talk time, 21 hours of internet use, and 25 hours of video. The iPhone XS Max case adds 37 hours of talk time, 20 hours of internet, and 25 hours of video playback. Finally, the iPhone XR Smart Battery case packs 39 hours of talk, 22 hours of web, and 27 hours of video.
Most notably, they also support Qi charging. This is how Apple describes the iPhone XS case:
If you have an iPhone X, Apple does not list the iPhone XS Smart Battery as backward compatible with the iPhone X. This is likely due to the camera bump on the iPhone XS being slightly taller than on the iPhone X.
You can order the new cases from Apple now for $129, with the earliest shipping estimates indicating a Friday, Jan 18th arrival.
