HyperMac to Rebrand to HyperJuice, Stop Selling Batteries Today
Posted in: Apple, Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili
An e-mail from Sanho Corporation CEO Daniel Chin announced this morning that HyperMac, the embattled external battery company sued by Apple in September, would be rebranding itself as “HyperJuice” as part of that ongoing legal wrangling with Apple. At issue are the MagSafe connectors used in its HyperMac external battery packs for the Mac and the dock connectors used for the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
The company also used the opportunity as a reminder that they would stop selling their HyperMac external battery packs with MagSafe connectivity to MacBooks and MacBook Pros entirely at midnight tonight, November1st. HyperJuice will still continue to sell the battery packs alone, just without the Apple-specified power-connector that will hook up to your Apple laptop’s MagSafe charging port. Whether the company will survive at all in the long run or smooth over relations with Apple remains to be seen, but if you’re looking for a HyperMac external battery pack for your Macbook or Macbook Pro, tonight’s your last chance to get one.
