Mophie has just released an accessory that adds up to
eight hours of talk time to the iPhone 5. The juice pack air is similar
to the manufacturer’s previous juice pack models, except it offers even
greater increases to the iPhone 5’s battery life.
iPhone5
users can now enjoy extended battery life thanks to a new accessory
made by Mophie. The device is called the juice pack air, and it offers a
sleek solution to the battery problems iPhone 5 users have been struggling with since iOS 6.0.2 was rolled out earlier this year.
Gadget Insiders reports
that the juice pack air weighs just 2.68 ounces and has a 1,700 mAh
battery that’s inserted into a standard iPhone5 case. According to the
manufacturer, it adds about eight more hours of talk time or LTE
Internet use or ten hours of Wi-Fi use. In addition it adds 40 hours to
the iPhone 5’s audio playback and 10 hours of video playback.
Mophie said the case works for about 500
full charging cycles, with a cycle being any time the device is charged
from empty up to 100 percent. The accessory’s capacity could drop to 75
percent after 500 full charging cycles. It does come with an outlet to
allow microUSB charging for both the juice pack air and the iPhone5 at
the same time.
The juice pack air will be available on
March 22, although it can be purchased as a pre-order. It’s priced at
$100, and available colors include black right now and then red and
white closer to the release date.
Mophie released a similar product in
February called the juice pack helium. It sells for around $80 and is a
little less of an upgrade than the juice pack air. A reviewer at ocanada
said the juice pack helium adds 1,500 mAh of battery life in a case
similar to the one used for the juice pack air. It adds about six hours
of talk time, up to 30 hours of audio playback time and seven hours of
video playback time.
