See what's inside the 'hump' of Apple's iPhone Smart Battery Case - When Apple launched its Smart Battery Case for the iPhone, it
immediately grasped everyone's attention - not so much for its specs (it
doubles your iPhone's battery life and that's it) - but for its humpy
design, which some have called unworthy of the company's usually high design standards.
Mashable's Christina Warren was neither impressed nor disgusted with it - she called it "basically a Mophie" - and Apple CEO Tim Cook basically said the "hump" on the device's back is brilliant engineering.
Now, iFixit decided to put Cook's claims to the test and tear down the device to its smallest bits to see what it's made of.
There are no huge surprises here - it's a battery case, folks - but
there are some interesting details here, proving Apple's engineers are
still putting usability first. For example, the duct in the bottom of
the case turns both iPhone's microphone and speaker from a
downward-facing speaker into a forward-facing speaker.

The
battery inside is a 1877mAh Li-ion one, slightly better than iPhone 6's
1810mAh battery, meaning that Apple's claims that this thing gives you
up to 25 hours of additional talk time or 18 hours of Internet use are
not far off.
Finally, the Smart Battery Case is (unsurprisingly) nearly impossible
to repair due to Apple's use of strong adhesive and non-proprietary T3
Torx screws. Luckily, the entire thing seems to be solidly built, so you
probably won't have a need to repair it, anyway. Source: Mashable
