We have been waiting for such a product to become available. Guess at $250, we’ll have to wait a bit longer. For that price, one would think it would be integrated to use the Apple charger. But no…it requires a separate one. Come on… $250? Really? It is laughable.
$250?? That’s an insane amount of money for what is effectively a battery!
