The newly released iPhone XS Smart Battery Case appears to work with the iPhone X despite it being listed as only compatible with the iPhone XS.
Since receiving the new case today, users have started posting their experiences with it.
iMore's Rene Ritchie tweets:
Ok, here’s the [100] correct info: You CAN use iPhone XS battery case with iPhone X. You may get that incompatibility pop up. But, if you dismiss it, it should charge fine. (Update iOS/reboot if not.) (Speaker/mics still won’t be aligned, if you care about acoustic performance.)
Previously, Ritchie had tried using the case with iOS 12.1.2 but it did not work properly on the iPhone X until after updating to iOS 12.1.3.

Apple is not failing they are doing fine with the Apple watches and other accessories. Yea iPhone sales might of been down but it doesn’t mean they are gonna go broke. It’s Apple which bring quality and simplicity.

Is Apple's current direction a concern?

The facts are out there! Modified Android OS versions can impact hardware performance. Better performance is achieved by hardware combined with an optimized OS. Whatever specs you have, if the OS is not optimized, there will be performance issues. They should learn from Google Pixel which runs on pure Android without the bloatware. If I am going to be switching to Android they should fix hardware/OS bugs first and ensure the platform is free from malware.
