Have you ever been on the road with your iPhone, and gotten down to that last little bar of battery? Doesn’t it always seem as if your iPhone (or any cellphone for that matter) always runs out of battery just when you need it the most? Well, no longer will this be a problem for iPhone users!
Mophie recently developed and released their "Juice Pack" for the iPhone. What this accessory does for the iPhone, is give it exponentially more battery power. According to Mophie’s website, the Juice Pack gives the iPhone up to 250 hours more standby time, up to 24 hours more audio playback, up to 8 hours more talk time, up to 7 hours more video playback time, and up to 6 more hours of internet use.
How does the Juice Pack work you ask? Well, to use the Juice Pack all you must do is charge it (using the iPhone adapter, or any iPod adapter for that matter) and then place your iPhone into it. A nice feature of the Juice Pack is that it allows you to charge both the module itself with the iPhone docked in it at the same time.
The "module" itself does add a considerable amount of bulk to the iPhone’s sleek design, but you don’t need to carry it around in your pocket everywhere you go, you can also use it as a portable charging station. Much like the batteries found on the MacBook’s and MacBook Pro’s, the Juice Pack allows you to press a small button on the back of the unit which will display its current charge via four LED lights.
Lastly, how comfortable is it to use the Juice Pack with your iPhone? As I mentioned earlier, the Juice Pack adds considerable bulk to the iPhone, but there is little to no sacrifice of functionality, meaning that you can still use the camera, side buttons, and speakers.
Although I cannot personally review the Juice Pack (I don’t own one…yet), it looks to be a very promising addition to the iPhone.
The Juice Box is currently $99.00 (US) and can only be purchased from Mophie from within the United States.
