Apple’s first ever battery iPhone case has generated a range of reactions and emotions. Some people simply can’t get over the hump.

I caught up with Apple CEO Tim Cook, who was in town to participate in an Hour of Code event, to take his temperature on the $99 iPhone 6 and 6s case, with the noticeable battery pack hump on its back.

We asked Cook if he is excited about the hump.

“You know, I probably wouldn’t call it ‘the hump,'” said Cook, who added he was aware of the comments surrounding the Smart Battery Case.

“As you probably know from being a user of this now,” said Cook as he grabbed my iPhone 6, which was sporting the new case, “one of the real insights here is, have you ever used other cases and tried to get them on?”

Cook was pointing out the issue with cases, like those from Mophie, that are so rigid it takes considerable strength and patience to put them on and take them off.

“If you make this solid all the way across,” said Cook, indicating the spots where the Apple case’s embedded battery stops and you just have the soft fluoroelastomer casing, “in order to get it on, you’d find it very difficult to get it on and off.”

“So the guys had this great insight to put the bend in along with making it a smart case,” Cook explained.

Some also see the introduction of an Apple battery case as an admission that battery life on the iPhone 6 and 6s isn’t all it should be.

Cook, though, said that “if you’re charging your phone every day, you probably don’t need this at all. But if you’re out hiking and you go on overnight trips… it’s kind of nice to have.”

Apple’s VP of software engineering Cheryl Thomas, who was also at the event and had been listening to Cook's description of Smart Battery Case usage scenarios, then chimed in. “When you need it, you need it.”

Cook laughed and agreed, “When you need it, you need it. That’s right.”

this poo poo is loving riveting. mad keen to read 30,000 words from CEO Tim Cook about a plastic phone case

im gonna go for 64gb when i buy the next one this year (the 4 incher if it doesnt suck or the 7 if it does)

mine isn't full. i have 7 GB free. it's very clear what's making it laggy is what every normie on the planet knows: ios updates slow down phones

actually it's not uncommon for new software to run faster on the same hardware as developers implement optimizations that improve performance. iOS 8 and 9 are great examples of this. can't believe I'm having to explain this basic fact of computing.

also the notion that you can stay on ios7 and it's fine and it's the consumers fault is stupid because apple don't push security updates for ios7.

the fact that mobile hardware becomes obsolete within 3 years is the norm is just lovely

yes but it also comes with big improvements in portability (size and weight). a modular design is never gonna be as space efficient as a custom design. its smaller and cheaper but you have to do a major upgrade every 2-3 years instead of 5-6 years with minor upgrades in between.

i need a way to listen to an mp3, hosted on the web, on my phone without connecting it to my computer. streaming it from safari doesn't work because it stops playing when you turn the screen off and I want to walk around and listen to it like any other podcast.

Does this exist?

edit: wth. i just tried safari again and it worked. was there an update? oh well ignore this

outdated software that actually runs correctly on the hardware i own. unlike ios10 or whatever which will inevitably be laggy, and ios 11 which will be even laggier and render the phone unusuable.

you guys may think it's cool and win that a company with practically unlimited engineering resources refuse to push security updates to old ios versions to manufacture obsolescence but not everyone is happy to indulge in irresponsible mass consumerism when it is completely unecessary
