Since Apple decided to forgo including chargers with new iPhones in recent iterations, it’s the perfect time to explore quality alternatives. Why opt for Apple's basic single-port adapter when you can grab the Anker Nano charger? Priced at a mere $30, it boasts two USB-C ports that churn out an impressive 47 watts of power — fast charging for your iPhone and the ability to charge an iPad or Apple Watch simultaneously. Its foldable prongs make it a compact travel buddy.

Driving with a phone can turn into a dangerous juggling act. Instead of letting your iPhone tumble into the depths of your cup holder, grab the iOttie Auto Sense Qi Wireless Car Charger.

This clever mount has you covered, even when Siri takes you through uncharted territories.

Embrace the beauty of convenience with the Anker 315 Wireless Charging Pads. At $15 each, or three for the price of Apple’s regular $39 MagSafe Charger, these pads deliver 10 watts of fast charging power. Place them strategically around your home for the ultimate hands-free charging solution.

For extra rugged environments, OtterBox's $60 Symmetry Series SoftTouch case is a trusted option, featuring reinforced corners and easy connectivity for magnetic accessories.

Let’s talk cables. The standard cable that comes with your iPhone is just too short and slow to be practical.

If you want to backup your iPhone or record high-quality video, invest in the Cable Matters 1 meter USB-C cable for only $13, capable of transferring data at speeds up to 10Gbps. Just keep in mind, this speed applies only to Pro models.

Looking forward to the fall? Don't forget about the AirPods Pro 2! Although Apple didn’t announce new versions, a promising software update is on the horizon. They'll soon pack hearing health features while retailing for only $190. They were originally $250 — snagging a deal has never sounded so sweet!

The Anker 622 MagGo charger perfectly complements your iPhone with a convenient and tangle-free charging solution. Priced at around $32, this portable charger features a foldable design and doubles as a phone stand — perfect for video calls!

Finally, let’s talk about finding your lost items! Apple's AirTags may not directly enhance your iPhone itself, but they are invaluable for tracking down keys, luggage, or any essential items. A four-pack is available for just $80, and With the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip in iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models, locating your items with precision has never been easier.
