I-Apple ye-Apple ibilokhu yonile kusuka ekusebenziseni okuphezulu kwebhethri, inkinga ngenhlanhla eminyakeni yamuva ixazululwe ngokwengxenye ngenxa yama-processor amasha ane-processor yamandla aphansi nokuthuthuka obekutholwa yi-iOS. Noma kunjalo, abanye abasebenzisi kungenzeka bangakwazi ukuqeda usuku ngebhethri elanele futhi baphoqeleke ukuthi basebenzise amacala anebhethri noma i-powerbank.
Ngo-2015, i-Apple yethule i-Smart Battery Case, ikesi lebhethri ebelinomklamo othile, hhayi ukuthi libize kabi ngqo, futhi lokho bekuhambisana ne-iPhone 6 ne-iPhone 6s futhi kamuva ne-iPhone 7. Ngokuqaliswa kwe- I-iPhone X ne-iPhone X, abasebenzisi abangathanda ikesi lebhethri babengenayo inketho esemthethweni evela ku-Apple. Ngenhlanhla, kubonakala sengathi isisombululo sisendleleni.
Lokhu kungashintsha maduzane, njengoba kutholakala ku-beta yakamuva ye-watchOS isithonjana esisetshenziselwa ukukhombisa isimo secala lebhethri. Le ngxenye ibhekele okunye ukuvuza, njengesithonjana esikhonjiswe yi-iPad Pro ngaphandle kwenkinobho yasekhaya.
Lesi sithonjana sisikhombisa ikesi lebhethri elifana naleyo inkampani eyethule ngo-2015 futhi okwamanje ehambisana kuphela ne-iPhone 6, iPhone 6s ne-iPhone 7. Umehluko omkhulu ongabonakala kulesi sithonjana esisha ukuma kwekhamera yangemuva kwe-iPhone, okuqondile, okukhombisa ukuthi ikesi lebhethri lizohambisana nama-iPhones amasha ngaphandle kwenkinobho yasekhaya.
Nge-beta, ayikwazi ukunquma ukuthi imaphi amadivayisi azohambisana ngaleli cala lebhethri, kepha kungenzeka litholakale ngazo zontathu izinhlobo ezintsha ze-iPhone: i-iPhone XS, i-iPhone XR, ne-iPhone XS Max. Ngokombono wokuklama, leli cala libukeka lifana ne-Smart Battery Case, ngaphandle kokuthi alinaso isilevu esikhulu ezansi nokuthi ikhefu lesikhala sekhamera yangemuva libheke phezulu, hhayi ngokuvundlile.
