Mophie has launched its newest portable battery, but the Powerstation Hub promises to do more than just give your phone a top-up while you're away from home. While the black block may well be a 6,100 mAh battery, it also has an integrated AC adapter built in, complete with pop-out prongs.
Once considered a mark of desperation, external batteries or power banks have become a fact of mobile life. They now come in all capacities and sizes but not all of them offer the same capabilities or support all charging cases. With its new line of powerstation "universal battery" packs, mophie is providing a USB-C port that can charge the battery itself as well as other devices.
As if Palm's comeback wasn't ludicrous enough, accessory maker mophie decided to take the bait and take the joke even further. The Verizon exclusive smartphone extension isn't really meant to replace your smartphone and is supposed to be used for very light activities when away from the bigger phone. It wasn't meant to last long either as far as battery life is concerned but now mophie's new juice pack and powerstation keychain battery cases promise you almost a day's worth of squinting and cramped typing.
Mophie has launched its Juice Pack Access battery case for the iPhone XR, iPhone XS / XS Max, and the iPhone X. The case features a built-in battery that provides longer run times for users, as well as protection against drops and bumps and support for wireless charging. Depending on the iPhone model, users can expect to get up to 31 hours of talk time with the battery case.
Mophie has launched a pair of universal batteries for USB devices, the powerstation PD and PD XL. Both batteries support fast charging, making it possible to rapidly charge compatible devices, including certain smartphones, tablets, and headphones. As its name suggests, the PD XL battery has the highest capacity in the series at 10,500mAh, which eclipses the PD model's 6,700mAh capacity.
Mophie has launched its Charge Stream desk stand, a Qi wireless charging stand for the latest iPhone models, as well as certain Samsung phones and other devices that are Qi-enabled. Unlike some wireless chargers, the new Mophie model features a mostly vertical design, propping the phone up so that it can still be easily viewed and used.
Typically, when most people hear the name Mophie they think of battery cases for flagship smartphones. While those battery cases are a major part of the company's business, it's also made quite a few external batteries that aren't hidden within a phone case. Today, it introduced its newest external battery, the Powerstation USB-C 3XL, and it's aimed squarely at MacBook users.
It’s still not as common as some would like but wireless charging is finally becoming a staple on smartphones. The number of quality wireless chargers, however, still isn’t exactly that many either. And if you’re on the hunt for one that maximizes the wireless charging capabilities of any brand of smartphone, your choices are even fewer. But with mophie’s four new wireless chargers, like the vent mount, desk stand, powerstation wireless and powerstation wireless XL, you’re being promised you won’t need to go looking elsewhere.
Mophie and Supreme have pushed out a new collaboration, with a new Supreme/Mophie Juice Pack Air for Apple's iPhone. The battery cases are part of Supreme's Fall/Winter 2018 collection and, as you'd expect from the streetwear brand, the company logo takes center stage.
Mophie has a new range of Powerstation external batteries that can recharge via Apple Lightning, cutting down the number of power adapters iPhone users need to carry. Four new Mophie Powerstations are being launched today, with batteries running the gamut from 20 hours more runtime for your iPhone X, though to more than 18 hours for a thirsty iPad.
Mophie has rolled out a new travel charger kit, combining a compact Qi wireless charging pad with easily-packed adapters for hotel and car use. The Mophie Charge Stream Travel Kit combines a smaller-than-average wireless charger pad - the Charge Stream Pad Mini - with a travel pouch and a number of different adapters to suit the various outlets road-warriors might encounter.
One of the disappointments of Samsung's latest flagships is that their batteries have barely changed over the years. The Galaxy S9, for instance, sports the same 3,000 mAh pack as the Galaxy S7 from 2016. While improvements in processors and battery efficiency promise longer battery lives, the fact remains that you'll barely get through a day without topping up. But why bother getting tangled with cables or fighting over wall sockets when you can prolong your Galaxy S9's or S9+'s use with mophie's latest juice packs, now with wireless charging support.
