The Most Essential Accessories for the New iPhones
Welp, RIP in peace to the home button, officially. Apple’s new line of iPhones is out and the all-screen, notch-inclusive design of the iPhone X is here to stay. You have the iPhone XR, a slightly upgraded (or downgraded if you love OLED screens), you have the XS (confusingly named a pretty damn big phone), and the iPhone XS Max, which, again is confusingly named, and in traditional sizing terms would average out to about an iPhone Medium.
Of course, retailers have rushed to flood the market with the accessories and dongles and earbuds and magic solutions you need for the new iPhone, and, yes, there’s a lot of rubbish out there. There’s also a lot of good stuff.
We hunted down the very nest in accessories for the new iPhone, from earbuds that make the AirPods look hopelessly out of date, to charging solutions that will get you to 100% battery in no time. Here are the best accessories for the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max.
