Apple has made it easy to hang on to your older iPhone for several years by making its newest operating systems backward compatible with five-year-old models like the iPhone 6S, while previous iOS versions work on a number of even older handsets. Batteries, however, are consumable items that may wear out before your phone does, and that’s where a case that touts more than just hard-shell protection comes in. Below are the best iPhone 6S battery cases that offer great protection and a juice boost when you need it.

The best iPhone 15 Plus cases in 2024: 15 best ones right now
A person holding the Apple iPhone 15 Plus.

Apple's iPhone 16 lineup is here, and it packs a big punch. But if you aren’t planning on upgrading, the iPhone 15 Plus is still a formidable phone for just about any user. Its large, crystal-clear 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with Dynamic Island, A16 Bionic chip for fast performance with iOS 17, and powerful dual-camera setup with 48-megapixel main and 12MP ultrawide lenses are nothing to sneeze at. And of course, you can charge it up with USB-C, since Apple finally ditched its proprietary Lightning charger as of the iPhone 15's 2023 debut.

The iPhone 15 Plus is still a pricey phone though, whether you’re buying new or upgrading from an older model. You can expect to pay $799 for the base model, which is still a hefty chunk of change. If you’re parting with that much cash, you’ll definitely want to protect your investment, and one of the easiest ways to do so is with a good case (and a screen protector helps out too!). Here are some of the best iPhone 15 Plus cases you can buy right now.

The iPhone SE 4 sounds amazing. But there’s still one big unknown
Mockup of fourth-generation iPhone SE camera bump.

The iPhone 16 series has won praise for its one-package-fits-all approach. It’s got a neat design, fast processor, AI future-proofing, and improved camera chops — all without asking a Pro-tier premium. But it seems the 2025 iPhone SE 4 is going to overshadow it.

Citing an anonymous “reliable” source, 9to5Mac claims that the next iPhone SE will be the first to feature Apple’s own 5G modem. It also makes sense, as the affordable model is a far safer choice for testing first-gen hardware than the cash-cow mainline iPhones.
