Like all other MagSafe accessories, this charging pad uses magnets to attach to the back of the latest iPhones and it\u2019s surprisingly strong. Not only can you safely pick up your handset and use it with the disk still attached, but the iPhone can dangle by the charger\u2019s cord without falling off. (You still probably shouldn\u2019t do this.)<\/p>\n The charging plate itself is about a quarter-inch thick so it barely adds any heft to the iPhone. The magnets only attach to the latest iPhones, but it will still charge older models wirelessly, going back to the iPhone 8. I only wish the cable were longer than three feet so that you had more leeway to use your iPhone on the couch or in bed while powering it up.<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s MagSafe charger accessory comes in at $39 (although we\u2019ve seen it go on sale a few times), but if you want to spend a bit less, Spigen\u2019s $25 ArcField magnetic wireless charger<\/a> is a decent dupe. It\u2019s magnets are nowhere near as strong as those on the Apple MagSafe charger \u2014 so you definitely<\/em> shouldn\u2019t pick up your iPhone by this cable \u2014 but it\u2019ll power up your handset and stay put while doing so.<\/p>\n ProsStrong magnetic hold for iPhonesRelatively affordableConsCable is a little short$38 at Walmart<\/a>Explore More Buying Options$38 at Amazon<\/a>$40 at Verizon<\/a> We\u2019ve been fans of Anker\u2019s charging cables for a long time and its Bio-Braided USB-C to C cable<\/a> is no exception. This model supports a max output of 240W so you can use it with your new iPhone or a MacBook, an iPad and most other mobile devices. It’s also 10 feet long, giving you much more flexibility to use it even if you have to park yourself further away from your power source. Plus, it’s made from a plant-based nylon that shouldn’t crack under pressure \u2014 Anker boasts a 10,000-bend lifespan on this cable, so you can use it and abuse it without it failing on you for a long time.<\/p>\n ProsSupport 240W of powerMade of plant-based nylonAvailable in 3-, 6-, and 10-feet lengthsConsDue to 240W support, one cable is a little pricey$19 at Amazon<\/a> PopSockets have been a great solution for the problem of slippery iPhones for a long time, but the new MagSafe PopGrips<\/a> make them an even more versatile option. Instead of adhering to the back of your handset or phone’s case, they magnetically (and pretty securely) attach using MagSafe. That means you can use it when you need it \u2014 to prop up your iPhone to watch a video or take a selfie \u2014 and then swiftly remove it when you don’t need it or want to power up using a wireless charger<\/a>. Each of these PopGrips comes with a MagSafe-compatible ring as well, which means you can turn non-iPhone gadgets like an Android phone, an ereader<\/a> and others into MagSafe-compatible ones, too. And if you prefer a different style grip or a wallet accessory, PopSocket has a number of items to choose from in its MagSafe range<\/a>.<\/p>\n ProsStrong magnetic hold on iPhonesComes with a MagSafe ring so you can use it with other devicesConsNo adhesive, so magnets are the only way to attach it to a device$18 at Amazon<\/a>Explore More Buying Options$20 at Walmart<\/a>$30 at Verizon<\/a> Anker’s new MagSafe battery pack<\/a> powered up a dead iPhone 15 to half full in about 45 minutes in our testing<\/a>. Its 10,000mAh capacity means you’ll get a couple of recharges out of it before it needs more juice itself, and we appreciate the strong MagSafe connection, too. Not only does this model provide a faster charge than our previous top pick, but it also has a handy kickstand that you can pop open to prop up your phone to watch views. The small digital display on the side of the battery pack conveniently tells you how much power is left in the bank, too.<\/p>\n Admittedly, this portable charger is on the pricey side, but it’s well worth it if you want a no-fuss, no-wires-necessary battery pack that can partially charge up your phone. For something similar and more affordable, consider Anker’s mangetic 5,000mAh battery pack<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n ProsQi2 tech enables extra fast wireless chargingSturdy kickstand props up iPhones as it chargesLED display for battery percentageConsMore expensive than other MagSafe packs$90 at Amazon<\/a> Elevation Lab\u2019s Go stand<\/a> is a sleek and unassuming way to prop up your iPhone when you want to watch a video or just have its screen visible at all times. It allows you to adjust the viewing angle up to 45 degrees, and it works with iPhones in landscape or portrait orientation. You don\u2019t have to remove your iPhone case to use it either, plus you can power up at the same time if you have a MagSafe charger. And when you\u2019re done with it, the stand folds into a slim, flat profile that will easily slide into a pocket or an overstuffed backpack.<\/p>\n ProsCompact designConsCan only be used with small mobile devices$20 at Amazon<\/a>Explore More Buying Options$20 at Apple<\/a> It\u2019s well known now that Apple AirPods are the best wireless earbuds for those with iPhones. While the AirPods Pro are the best of the best for iOS devices (especially if you need active noise cancelling), Apple made its standard AirPods<\/a> even better with the introduction of the third-generation model<\/a>, which has an improved design, noticeably better sound and longer battery life thanks to its charging case. We appreciate the new \u201ccontoured\u201d design, which is way more comfortable than previous AirPods, and the H1 chipset makes features like hands-free Siri and speedy pairing and switching between iPhone, iPad, and Mac possible.<\/p>\n ProsMore comfortable designMassively improved audioHands-free SiriLong battery lifeConsLook and fit still isn’t for everyoneNo ANCNo onboard volume controls$149 at Amazon<\/a>Explore More Buying Options$169 at Adorama<\/a> A screen protector<\/a> is arguably the most important accessory for your iPhone that you could get, and that goes for even those who avoid cases like the plague. The last thing you want is to accidentally drop your very expensive new piece of tech and come out of it with a shattered screen. JeTech makes screen protectors for a number of different iPhone models and they\u2019re quite easy to precisely stick onto your handset\u2019s screen. Made with tempered glass, these thin sheets protect your iPhone display from scratches, bumps and drops, and they are fingerprint- and oil-proof as well. Each pack comes with three screen protectors, so even the clumsiest among us will have a couple of backups if they burn through the original shortly after installation.<\/p>\n ProsMade with tempered glassComes with a handy installation toolConsOnly comes in packs of three$7 at Amazon<\/a> While Apple\u2019s 20W charger works just fine, you can opt for a more versatile adapter in Anker\u2019s 313 45W fast charger<\/a>. Not only can it fast-charge an iPhone, but it can also power up a MacBook Air at full speed, along with mid-sized devices like iPads. This USB-C power adapter is 30 percent smaller than Anker’s original adapter, and it uses GaN technology to prevent overheating. We also appreciate that its connector prongs flip down to make the adapter even more compact when you need to travel with it.<\/p>\n ProsCompact designFast-charges the latest iPhonesConsCharging cable not included$24 at Amazon<\/a> Apple\u2019s AirTags<\/a> make it easy for iPhone users to locate things they might misplace. Just attach<\/a> one of the tiny Bluetooth trackers to your keys, backpack or wallet and then use the Find My app to keep track of them. If you know your stuff is within reach, you can force the AirTag to play a tune to lead you to it. And when you truly don\u2019t know where something is, you can enable Lost Mode to be automatically notified when the Find My network locates the item. AirTags only have compatibility with iPhones, but iPhone users have other Bluetooth tracker options (namely Tile\u2019s). But Apple\u2019s gadgets have a convenience level that\u2019s similar to AirPods \u2014 your iPhone will automatically identify a new Apple AirTag nearby and immediately pair with it, and it\u2019s quite simple to manage multiple AirTags in the Find My app.<\/p>\n ProsEasy to slip into bags and walletsUses the Find My network to keep track of belongingsConsNo built-in keyring hole$24 at Walmart<\/a>Explore More Buying Options$24 at Amazon<\/a>$29 at Adorama<\/a> Those of us with older vehicles don\u2019t have the luxury of built-in CarPlay, but your iPhone can still help you navigate if you use a car mount like Speck\u2019s newest MagSafe accessory<\/a>. The MagSafe Car Vent Mount with ClickLock attaches to one of your car vents and can be positioned so you can easily see the directions on your iPhone\u2019s screen while you\u2019re driving. The magnets are quite strong, helping to prevent your handset from sliding off when you brake too hard or take a turn too quickly (and if you have a Speck ClickLock case, you\u2019ll fare even better). Once you have it installed in the right position for your car, an accessory like this should just blend in with the other tools on your dash and Speck\u2019s mount does exactly that. It\u2019s easy to readjust the viewing angle of your iPhone if needed, and there\u2019s built-in cord management on the backside of the mount as well.<\/p>\n ProsStrong magnetic hold on iPhonesSturdy hold on car ventsConsBest used with Speck ClickLock phone cases$29 at Amazon<\/a>Explore More Buying Options$30 at Verizon<\/a>$36 at Target<\/a> Peak Design\u2019s iPhone tripod<\/a> is a solid, well-designed aluminum frame that folds into a credit card-sized shape. You\u2019re paying a premium for the build design and quality, with a tiny hex key even built into the tripod legs for tightening them, if needed.<\/p>\n With a solid micro-ball head, you can adjust the angle of your iPhone while it\u2019s in tripod mode. Better still, it can firmly attach, magnetically, to the phone in both vertical and horizontal orientations. This makes it an excellent stand for your phone even when you\u2019re not trying to shoot video or photos.<\/p>\n You also don\u2019t need to shell out for a Peak Design case to ensure it works, although it does feel more solidly connected if you do. Any MagSafe iPhone locks onto the peripheral, maintaining a solid hold on this mobile tripod whether in use or folded away.<\/p>\n There are plenty of more affordable MagSafe phone stands, such as Moft\u2019s Snap-On Stand and Wallet<\/a>, which props up your iPhone while holding a few credit cards, Anker\u2019s MagGo phone grip<\/a>, and the now-ubiquitous PopSockets<\/a>. While MagSafe accessories like these are convenient, they won\u2019t be as sturdy as something securely snapped onto your smartphone or a smartphone case. All of the MagSafe stands, wallets, chargers, and other accessories I\u2019ve tried eventually fell off if I applied enough force. However, there\u2019s no sticky residue or the need to use a specific case with Peak Design\u2019s tripod. \u2014 Mat Smith, UK Bureau Chief<\/em><\/p>\n ProsWell built with a compact designStrong magnetic hold on iPhonesConsExpensive$80 at Peak Design<\/a> There are many more MagSafe cases available now than there were just a year ago, and they run the gamut from affordable to quite expensive. You could always go with one of Apple\u2019s first-party options, but just know that even if you like the style of the company\u2019s silicone cover or its hard-shell clear cases, you can probably find a decent dupe for much less money. We\u2019ve got a whole list of the best iPhone cases<\/a> we\u2019ve tried, and a good all-purpose option is Spigen\u2019s Ultra Hybrid MagFit case<\/a>. It\u2019s a clear cover that has anti-yellowing properties, which should keep your iPhone looking clean and new for longer than other cases, and it’ll work well with any screen protector you might already have on your phone. Raised edges help protect the screen and camera array from making too much contact with other surfaces, and you\u2019ll be able to use it with any magnetic accessories you want.<\/p>\nMore options<\/a><\/p>\n
