It looks like Apple is facing a bit of a supply issue with its Smart Battery Cases for the iPhone XS series and iPhone XR. As reported by MacRumors, new orders of Smart Battery Case for the 2018 iPhones from Apple’s online store would only ship in July.

That’s a delay of over a month in shipping from the date of order. There has been no announcement from Apple regarding this delay. The Smart Battery Case is also not available for pick-up in stores, with the option being available from July 16 onwards.

The delay also means that replacement of any faulty Smart Battery Case can only be done in July when fresh stock arrives.

The Smart Battery Case also seems to be in limited stock on Amazon. If you are looking to purchase a Smart Battery Case for your iPhone XS or iPhone XR, you should check your nearest Apple store or Best Buy. They are likely your best bet to secure a Smart Battery Case unit before the existing stock runs out completely.

If you cannot find a Smart Battery Case from Apple and need one urgently, you might have to consider some third-party options.

Apple launched the Smart Battery Case for iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR in January this year. The cases are available in a multitude of colors and are priced at $129.99. They also support Qi wireless charging and can almost double the battery life of the iPhone XS or iPhone XR.
