There are hundreds of different add-ons, from cases to keep your phone safe to wireless chargers that make powering up your device more convenient.</p><p>There are a few things to consider before buying accessories for your iPhone. For starters, you'll want to make sure that the accessories are compatible with your particular iPhone model. For example, if you're buying a phone case, you'll need a case that fits your specific device. The same is true for screen protectors and charging cables.&nbsp;</p><p>For example, if you're buying a phone caselike for your <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-12-purple-apple-event-april-2021-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new purple iPhone 12</a> &nbsp; you'll need a case that fits your specific device. The same is true for screen protectors and charging cables. If you're considering buying a wireless charger, you'll need an iPhone 8 or later. But only the iPhone 12 series is compatible with the company's new&nbsp; MagSafe connection.&nbsp;</p><h2>Here are our top picks for the best iPhone accessories:</h2><ul class="summary-list"><li><strong>Best iPhone wireless charging: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GYD68MW/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07GYD68MW&amp;linkId=d65b3b7afe4cb6962233f0d363c85462" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">Moshi Otto Q</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best iPhone case: <a href="https://imp.i308314.net/c/196318/827945/11638'u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.speckproducts.com%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored nofollow sponsored nofollow sponsored">Speck</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best iPhone wireless headphones: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0863TXGM3/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0863TXGM3&amp;linkId=19a2eeccb0b7c71967f2e5914a03bddf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">Sony WH-1000XM4</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best iPhone fast-charging accessories: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6TTC1T/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07L6TTC1T&amp;linkId=43fdbf5394d18b20167e841f02a2e57c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">Apple 18W power adapter</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CMN7DCX/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07CMN7DCX&amp;linkId=486e12cce3b953b9ab74ec7b1a875bb0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">USB-C to Lightning cable</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best iPhone dock: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LD85ORQ/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01LD85ORQ&amp;linkId=accabab2e55744da4db0ac23026a7d1f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">Twelve South HiRise 2 Deluxe</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best iPhone screen protector: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JX7VFTB/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B08JX7VFTB&amp;linkId=f58952d886e5ba4f7c7b124d630348d9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored nofollow sponsored">MaxBoost Tempered Glass</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best iPhone battery pack: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YLFX8DT/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07YLFX8DT&amp;linkId=e4a0fe86e2a1bad70877f53c80ab5c64" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">ElecJet PowerPie</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best iPhone cleaning kit: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WCH5JTT/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07WCH5JTT&amp;linkId=714e26af4957f7975cce26027d9dd928" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored nofollow sponsored">Whoosh! screen cleaning kit</a></strong></li><li><strong>Best iPhone storage expansion: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CIEBS74/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01CIEBS74&amp;linkId=d1d0aa221dc862ae7f6cb7d80ebd7f0f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive</a></strong></li></ul><aside class="quick-tip headline-regular"><p><strong>Updated by Sarah Lord on 4/26/21:</strong> Added details based on our testing of Speck's iPhone cases.

Using a wireless charger, you can simply plop your device down on a charging mat, and it will &mdash; almost magically &mdash; start charging. There are a range of wireless charging mats out there, and the best all-round wireless charging mats is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GYD68MW/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07GYD68MW&amp;linkId=d65b3b7afe4cb6962233f0d363c85462" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Moshi Otto Q</a> wireless charger.</p><p>There are a few things that make this such a great charger. It doesn't necessarily have the most features out there, but it's beautifully-designed and should easily blend into the rest of your home, thanks largely to the fabric covering. Generally, it just looks friendly &mdash; and should look great on any table, nightstand, or kitchen counter. The charger even has a silicone ring on the top of it to ensure that your phone stays firmly on the charger without slipping off.</p><p>The charger supports other helpful features, too. For example, with the right adapter, like a Quick Charge adapter, the pad supports up to 7.5-watt fast-charging on an iPhone. Safe to say, from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone 12, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GYD68MW/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07GYD68MW&amp;linkId=d65b3b7afe4cb6962233f0d363c85462" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Moshi Otto Q</a> should easily charge your device.</p><p>So, what are the downsides' Well, the main one is that it doesn't come with an adapter, so you'll have to buy that separately. If you plan on using the wireless charger at night, you'll also have to deal with the relatively bright LED indicator light.&nbsp;</p><p>Still, despite those issues, the vast majority of reviewers love the Moshi Otto Q wireless charger. For example, <a href="https://www.macworld.com/article/3243053/the-best-wireless-chargers-for-your-iphone.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MacWorld</a> hailed the charger as one of its top picks, thanks to the great design, USB-C connector, and fast charging support.</p></p><br/><br/><h3>The best iPhone case</h3><img src="https://static6.businessinsider.com/image/5e5928fbfee23d3f6c742f42-400-300/the-best-iphone-case.jpg" alt="" /><p><h3><a href="https://imp.i308314.net/c/196318/827945/11638'u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.speckproducts.com%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">Speck's cases</a> are well-designed, available in a range of colors and designs, and ultra durable &mdash; ensuring that your phone survives the majority of drops that it might go through.</h3><p><strong>Pros: </strong>Classy designs, lots of colors and styles, very protective</p><p><strong>Cons: </strong>None</p><p>If you want a solid, reliable iPhone case that will keep your iPhone safe and sound no matter what model you have, then it's worth checking out Speck's lineup of phone cases. Speck offers a range of case models for all different iPhone devices, with a huge range of different colors, thicknesses, and more.</p><p>There are a few reasons why it's worth considering Speck cases. Perhaps one of the biggest advantages to Speck cases over other options is the fact that they have excellent grip, ensuring that you're less likely to drop your phone.&nbsp;</p><p>Even if you do drop your phone, it'll likely survive unscathed. Speck claims its Presidio Grip case is built to survive 10-foot drops &mdash; which is much higher than most drops that are at around waist height. In our testing, Speck's Presido 2 Perfect Clear with Grips, Presidio 2 Armor Cloud, and Presido 2 Pro handled a 5-foot drop onto a marble floor with ease, showing no signs of damage.&nbsp;</p><p>The Speck Presidio Perfect Clear With Grips case is a good choice for those looking to show off the iPhone's new colors. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-12-purple-apple-event-april-2021-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini now come in purple</a>, along with the previously released white, black, blue, green, and (Product) Red.&nbsp; Whether you want something grippy and clear or smooth and colorful, Speck has a full range of options.</p><p>The price listed below for Speck's rugged and well-designed cases&nbsp; is around what you can expect for cases made for Apple's newest iPhone models like the iPhone 12. Cases for older models are typically cheaper.</p></p><br/><br/><h3>The best iPhone wireless headphones</h3><img src="https://static3.businessinsider.com/image/5f36a91ce89ebf001f04491b-400-300/the-best-iphone-wireless-headphones.jpg" alt="" /><p><h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0863TXGM3/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0863TXGM3&amp;linkId=19a2eeccb0b7c71967f2e5914a03bddf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Sony's WH-1000XM4 headphones</a> are one of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy.&nbsp;</h3><p><strong>Pro: </strong>First-rate noise canceling, improved call quality, great battery life, amazing sound quality</p><p><strong>Cons: </strong>Expensive, out-of-the-box sound needs to be tweaked using the app</p><p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0863TXGM3/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0863TXGM3&amp;linkId=19a2eeccb0b7c71967f2e5914a03bddf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Sony WH-1000XM4</a> is one of the best pairs of noise-canceling headphones on the market today. They retain all the features of the highly rated previous model, while cutting the amount of ambient noise that leaks in during phone calls. These rival, and in some ways even surpass, the Bose 700, and are priced hundreds of dollars less than Apple's newly released Airpods Max.&nbsp;</p><p>Sony nails all of the aspects that make for a great pair of headphones with the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0863TXGM3/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B0863TXGM3&amp;linkId=19a2eeccb0b7c71967f2e5914a03bddf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">WH-1000XM4</a>: great sound quality that you can customize to your liking, a seamless wireless experience, and excellent noise cancellation.&nbsp;</p><p>The XM4's are made from plastic, which perhaps doesn't offer the most luxurious finish, but are light and extremely comfortable. The plush leatherette ear cups offer an adjustable fit with a grip that is firm, but not headache-inducing. They have a rich sound and wide soundstage, which is made even better by the accompanying app. You can customize the equalizer however you see fit in Sony's app, which my colleague Antonio Villas-Boas found particularly helpful <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sony-wh-1000xm4-wireless-noise-cancelling-headphones-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during his review</a> since he was unimpressed with the sound right out of the box.&nbsp;</p><p>The noise cancellation is also excellent and on par with the Bose 700. The MX4 did a great job of reducing background noise and making it possible to sink entirely into the music.&nbsp;</p><p>Sony has made big improvements in reducing ambient noise during phone calls in the MX4. In our review, my colleague wrote that he was able to have a conversation sitting near a powerful generator without the person on the other end of the call realizing it. This is a big jump from the MX3, whose call quality was considerably lacking.&nbsp;</p><p>Sony claims that the MX4 comes with 30 hours of battery life, and five hours of listening time with a 10-minute charge. They come in both a black and silver model and are currently on sale for $278.</p></p><br/><br/><h3>The best iPhone fast-charging accessories</h3><img src="https://static6.businessinsider.com/image/5ebc518ffc593d273646c984-400-300/the-best-iphone-fast-charging-accessories.jpg" alt="" /><p><h3>If you want fast charging on your iPhone, it's worth buying Apple's first-party accessories, thanks to their nice design and reliability.</h3><p><strong>Pros: </strong>Well-designed, work well with Apple products</p><p><strong>Cons: </strong>Expensive</p><p>Along with wireless charging, newer iPhones also support fast charging &mdash; meaning you can plug your iPhone into its charger, and get hours of juice in only 30 minutes or so. Recent iPhone models can fast-charge at up to 18W, and Apple says that using fast charging you could get up to 50% of the battery back in 30 minutes. Any iPhone model that's an iPhone 8 or newer supports fast-charging.</p><p>The best way to take advantage of fast charging on your iPhone is by using Apple's own fast charging accessories &mdash; including the Apple 18W USB-C power adapter, and the Apple USB-C to Lightning charging cable. Together, these accessories will run you back around $42 in total.</p><p>There are plenty of reasons to buy Apple's first-party fast-charging accessories. For starters, with these accessories, you know that you're getting accessories that can truly supply enough power for the phone to use. On top of that, Apple's accessories are well-designed, and should blend right into any home.</p><p>Critics love Apple's own accessories, too. <a href="https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-fast-charge-your-iphone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digital Trends recommended</a> the Apple USB-C to Lightning cable and 18W power adapter in its guide on iPhone fast-charging, arguing that the accessories were more advanced than what you'll get with most iPhones.</p><p>Note, if you have the iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max, you already have the 18W charger accessories. Apple iPhone 12 users, sadly, would do well to pick this up if they don't already own one.</p><h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CMN7DCX/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07CMN7DCX&amp;linkId=486e12cce3b953b9ab74ec7b1a875bb0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Apple USB-C to Lightning cable</a></h3><bi-shortcode id="product-card-module" class="mceNonEditable" data-type="5ebc502d48d92c0c63462892" data-card-type="button">Product Card Module: Lightning to USB-C Cable <br />Card size: button</bi-shortcode><h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6TTC1T/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07L6TTC1T&amp;linkId=43fdbf5394d18b20167e841f02a2e57c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Apple 18W power adapter</a></h3></p><br/><br/><h3>The best iPhone dock</h3><img src="https://static4.businessinsider.com/image/6013000c6dfbe10018e008b1-400-300/the-best-iphone-dock.jpg" alt="" /><p><h3><strong>The </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LD85ORQ/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_091917_best-iphone-docks-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01LD85ORQ&amp;linkId=2466e7327e379086211903f555547357"><strong>Twelve South HiRise 2 Deluxe</strong></a><strong> is a simple, yet effective, stand that holds your iPhone upright while it charges so that your speakers &ndash; and home button, if you have one &ndash; aren't blocked.</strong></h3><p><strong>Pros:</strong> Simple design, affordable, comes in a few colors, doesn't block your speakers&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Cons:</strong> You may need to remove your case</p><p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LD85ORQ/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01LD85ORQ&amp;linkId=accabab2e55744da4db0ac23026a7d1f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Twelve South HiRise 2 Deluxe</a> charging dock is a simple, no-frills iPhone accessory that offers a solid perch for your iPhone without blocking access to the bottom of your phone.

However, it does offer fast charge support for Samsung phones, so if someone in your household with a Galaxy or Note should get a fast charge too.</p><p>This black, rectangular battery pack is utilitarian in design. It has a power button that lights up four LED lights which indicate how much juice is left in the tank. It may not be pretty to look at, but the case is finished in soft-touch plastic that feels good to hold.</p><p>With its ability to hold a charge for a long time without heating up and its affordable price, it's definitely worth considering for those looking to keep their devices powered up on-the-go.</p></p><br/><br/><h3>The best iPhone cleaning kit</h3><img src="https://static3.businessinsider.com/image/5dc5b7647eece53e4d5d1e93-400-300/the-best-iphone-cleaning-kit.jpg" alt="" /><p><h3>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WCH5JTT/ref=as_li_tl'ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipg_102717_best-iphone-accessories-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07WCH5JTT&amp;linkId=714e26af4957f7975cce26027d9dd928" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">Whoosh!
