From desk stands to power banks and gaming controllers, there has never been more choice when it comes to add-ons. Much like the best iPad accessories, you may quickly wonder how you ever used your phone without them.

Many of the official extras for the latest iPhone 15 series will take advantage of Apple’s MagSafe technology. This is built into the back of the handsets and used to attach magnet-based accessories, including cases and wireless chargers. Do note that the majority of these add-ons only work with iPhone 12, 13 and 14 line-ups.

So if you already have an iPhone or are thinking about picking one up after reading our best iPhone guide, this article will list some of the best accessories in 2024.
