With every Apple release comes new features to showcase. Improved cameras and processor speeds tend to be the focus of new models, but the majority of features require accessories to truly unlock the devices full potential. Take the Apple Pencil for example – a huge innovation for many different people when putting their iPad to use. From a student perspective to make notes whilst revising, to an architect sketching their latest design. This accessory has been revolutionary. We’ve put together our guide to the must have Apple accessories to help you make the most of your iPhone.
The iOutlet offers plenty of advice to you prior to purchasing. Whether this is your first iPhone or an upgrade, make sure you take a look to see what accessories are included in your purchase. The iPhone will come with a lightning charging cable and a sim pin. We choose not to include a mains plug as standard with our devices, for good reason. From an environmental perspective, we have learnt that customers will reuse their mains plugs when upgrading their iPhone, meaning that the manufacture of main plugs is no longer a necessity – reducing our carbon footprint with decreased supply and shipping year upon year. If this is your first iPhone you may not even need to buy a wall adapter if you already have one with a USB outlet.
Accessories tend to be split into a variety of categories, but we like to keep it simple with this question; is it a luxury or a necessity?
Let’s start with screen protectors. A variety of these are offered with your smartphone, but nothing comes close to the tempered glass. This is because this offers both scratch protection and drop protection. Nobody wants a scratched screen, even worse a cracked screen! Despite our competitive prices to have an iPhone screen repaired, it’s an unwanted cost to pay. Tempered glass can also be essential when it comes to selling the device; the better condition the device is in, the more money you’ll get for your iPhone. That’s why we think a good quality screen protector is a necessary accessory for all users.
With iPhone cases, we see this as both a luxury and a necessity. A luxury as you can choose which colour or design to opt for, and a necessity for protective purposes. Here at The iOutlet, we have two best-selling cases; the Shell Impact Case and the Eco Case. The Shell Impact Case does exactly what it says on the tin, protects your device from unexpected drops with its anti-shock technology. It comes in a clear or grey finish at just £9.99. We’ve gone into more detail about our Eco Case for you to learn more.
Some of the latest released accessories are a luxury but once you’ve tried it for yourself it’s likely that these will become a necessity for all future devices you own. These accessories make charging your iPhone simple and efficient. The USB-C 20W plug charges your iPhone up to 50% in just 30 minutes, using its speedy USB-C port as opposed to the conventional USB port. For iPhone 12’s and above, the MagSafe charging dock is worth looking at. Using the magnetic plate hidden in the back of your iPhone, the magnets will click the charger and iPhone together and charge effortlessly.
