Which iPhone accessories are actually worth buying?

It’s easy to end up with a drawer full of phone gadgets that never get used. For most people, only a handful of iPhone accessories genuinely earn their place – a good case, an easier way to charge, and something to help if the phone (or keys) go missing.

The good news is these work the same way whether the iPhone is brand new or a few years old – MagSafe, the magnetic system most current cases and chargers use, has been on every iPhone since the iPhone 12, so there’s no need to worry about compatibility.

We’ve put our actual picks, with current prices, in one place: the best iPhone accessories for seniors. It covers the case, charging stand and tracker we’d genuinely recommend, rather than a long list of things to buy.
