Apple’s new iPhone battery pack has received a bit of design dissing this week. Many have said it “looks like a hump” and we think it sort of appears as though the iPhone swallowed a sheep, like an anaconda (see: Apple debuts Smart Battery Case for iPhone 6s, extends life up to 25 hours).
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
