Apple's $99 iPhone Battery case a luxury

Apple unveiled its new battery case for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S. The case is priced at a hefty $99 which happens to be an additional luxury to the users of iPhone. The battery case holds a capacity of 1,877 mAh which prolongs your iPhone battery charge to provide you with 25 hours of talk time, 20 hours of video playback and 18 hours of web browsing over LTE along with the battery in your iPhone. 

Though the design of the battery case is hit harsh from critics, it does have its own positives to prove them wrong. The battery case has a bump in the middle of the case which was not well received by most people, but then it helps iPhone with better cellular coverage as it has built in antennas. The case doesn't charge your iPhone to 100 percent as it possesses a little lesser capacity to that of an iPhone, but when combined with the iPhone battery, it powers your device for a good amount of time, may be a complete day.

The phone once placed into the case embeds itself into the iOS and you can monitor the battery percentages of both iPhone and the battery case when you draw the notification bar from the top. There is no LED to display separate battery level for the case. Apple is known for its design standards, and this turned out to be an embarrassment for most avid lovers of Apple and its products. Few loved it, but then most hated it. So, it's gotta be you who has to choose at the end, whether you love it and buy it or reject it for cheaper battery cases that are available in the market. But you won't get the smartness this case provides, embedding your case into the iOS, monitoring your battery levels straight on the screen and improving your cellular performance.

 At the end, the manufacturer is Apple and it has its own value and trust. So, $99 is what you need to splash to buy yourself a new battery case from Apple.

How to set custom ringtone on Iphone

All those Iphone users out there know very well that Iphone doesn't allow the feature to set custom ringtones directly. The in built ringtones are pretty good but sometimes we may want to set our favourite songs or tunes as ringtones.

Today in this post we will teach you how you can set custom ringtones on your Iphone easily.

Please note that this trick works on all your Iphone devices like 4/4S/5/5S/6/6 Plus.



Iphone doesn't allow users to set their custom ringtones from the music library. However it can be done by adding the ringtone from itunes. Iphone uses .m4r version of audio for its ringtone. Hence any .m4r version audio added from  itunes can be used as custom ringtones.

So lets see how we can easily convert audios into .m4r version and use them as ringtones on Iphones.

Step 1 : We will be using a Ringtone app downloaded from App Store which allows us to edit audio files and easily convert them into .m4r version audio.

Here I have used an app called Ringtones for Iphone iOS by Mannix Apps which I felt is very user friendly and easy to use app. (Click here to download from App Store).

Once you have downloaded the app just open the app.

Step 2 : You will see iPod library option in the apps which will allow you to select the song from you iPod library i.e the music library.

Step 3 : Select your song from the iPod library.

Step 4 : Once you select the song now you have to edit the song i.e you have to select the portion of the song which you want to set as ringtone.

This is required because you can use ringtones which is of 30 seconds only.

After you select the required part just click on the save button as shown in the image below.

Once you click the save button you will be asked what type of ringtone you want. After you select the tone type press done.

Thats it the tone will be saved in .m4r version.

Step 5: Now connect your Iphone to itunes on your computer. Go to the Apps tab and then scroll down. Under File Sharing Option you will see Ringtone App. Just click on the app to see the ringtone which you created in the app. Just save the ringtone on your computer by clicking on "save to" option as shown in the below image.

Step 6: Now open the folder on your computer where you saved your ringtone and just double click on the ringtone. The ringtone will now be loaded on itunes.

Step 7 : Now go to itunes and click on "Tones" tab and select "Sync Tones". 

You will see two options "All tones" and "Selected tones". Click on selected tones to see a list of tones you created. Then select the tones you want to sync and click on "Apply" button below.

The tones will be added to your Iphone.

Step 8 : Now go to ringtone settings on your Iphone to see the newly added ringtone listed. Set the ringtone and enjoy.

Go to Settings> Sounds> Ringtone

You will see the newly added ringtones.

Now add as many custom ringtones you want to add by this method.

Enjoy.
