Mophie, a brand known for its mobile power accessories, has announced the return of the fan-favorite Juice Pack case for the iPhone at CES 2024. Yes, the Juice Pack is back.

Mophie was the first officially Apple-certified battery case maker and has been around since the very first iPhone. Mophie was acquired by Zagg in 2016. It’s gone through a few variations over time, with the Juice Pack Air and Juice Pack Access in 2019, and then it disappeared for a while. It didn’t help that Apple had its own Battery Case for a while that’s now discontinued, but Mophie is making a comeback with the Juice Pack.

The new version of the Juice Pack will be available for most of the iPhone 15 lineup, including the standard iPhone 15, the iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Oddly enough, the iPhone 15 Plus is omitted from the Juice Pack lineup.

According to Zagg spokesperson Jeff DuBois’ statement to The Verge, one of the main reasons the iPhone 15 Plus was not included is due to the device’s small market share. Mophie and Zagg are being conservative with the Juice Pack by only relaunching it for more widely adopted devices.

The battery capacities for each version are slightly different. The iPhone 15 version has a 2,400mAh battery, the iPhone 15 Pro is 2,600mAh, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 2,800mAh. For the first time, the Juice Pack will be made with up to 50% recycled plastic, making it more eco-friendly than before.

In the early days of the iPhone, the Mophie Juice Pack was one of my most used accessories, especially if I was traveling. I loved how it would provide me with extra power for my iPhone while also giving me some protection from everyday wear and tear on the device. It was a bit bulky, however, but that’s understandable — it’s a battery case, after all.

Considering how my iPhone 15 Pro can burn through the battery pretty quickly depending on what I’m doing, I’m eager to check out the new Mophie Juice Pack.

The new Mophie Juice Pack will cost $100 and be available only in black. You can preorder it in late February directly on Mophie’s website, and each Juice Pack will have a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.

I found an amazing new way to use my iPhone 15 Pro Max
The back of a Natural Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max.

When Apple announced the iPhone 15 Pro series last September, there was one feature I was more excited about than anything else: the Action button. Gone was the useless ring/silent slider. In its place was a button we could customize to our exact liking.

I've been using the Action button on my iPhone 15 Pro Max ever since I got it, and for the last few months, it's been programmed to open the camera app. It's convenient, but it's also nothing particularly exciting. Recently, though, I found a new and unexpected way to use my iPhone's Action button — and it's kind of blowing my mind.

One of the most iconic iPhone accessories is back — and it’s great
Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 15 Pro.

In the early days of the iPhone, one of the most popular accessories was the Mophie Juice Pack battery case. This was one of the first and original battery cases for the iPhone that would extend the battery life of your phone to help you get through the day. It was essential when traveling, as you’d likely go through your iPhone’s battery much faster and might not be near an outlet.

The Mophie Juice Pack became a staple for many people and spawned numerous copycats, but once Apple introduced MagSafe with the iPhone 12 line, it seemed like the need for battery cases dissipated. In fact, it has been a few years since Mophie last released a Juice Pack case for the iPhone. But the Mophie Juice Pack has finally returned, and it’s currently available for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
