iPhone Charging Case Theory

So a little back I came up with a theory. The idea is that Apple's new iPhone case is so weird and ergonomic and generally stupid that it couldn't possibly be designed without some strange special conditions. Remembering the Macbook 2015's tiered battery system, I thought, "What if they took extra batteries from that and put them into the case?" 

 

I slowly came to obsess over this. So, tonight, I decided to run the numbers. Taking photos of the iPhone 6s case, the Macbook 2015, and using a ruler on my screen to measure the approximate sizes of components within each, I came up with the following crude diagrams:

 

 

Aaaaaaaand it's not perfect. It's close, close enough I could chalk it up to shitty measurement and bad arithmetic. But I prefer to, instead of justifiying the old theory, push it a step further. I say that some Apple engineer fucked up the dimensions on an order of batteries for the Macbook, and because Apple had to do *something* with them, they made a weird and shitty iPhone case. 

 

Honestly, this still doesn't really justify the case. They should have just trashed the batteries. 

That ain't Falco.

I don't think that trashing lithium ion batteries is very environmentally friendly.

Mophie makes a way way way better battery case than Apple.
