Your iPhone battery woes might soon be gone -- if you don't mind a bump on the phone's back.

On Tuesday, Apple started selling a new iPhone accessory: The Smart Battery Case for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S. The company quietly (and, perhaps, accidentally) launched the case on its UK site, and Pocket Lint was the first to notice.

UPDATE: Now that the case has officially launched, here's Mashable's review of the Smart Battery Case.

Available in Charcoal Grey and White for $99 in the U.S. and £79 ($118) in the UK, the accessory will be very familiar to users of Mophie's smartphone case/battery combos. According to Apple, it increases talk time up to 25 hours, and Internet use up to 18 hours on LTE.

The case supports Lightning accessories and works with the iPhone Lightning Dock. The dimensions aren't listed on the site, but from the photos it's obvious that the case will add a little height, width, and quite a lot of thickness to your iPhone.
