While you're at it, why not check out all the awesome accessories available for your phone? There’s something for everyone, from fancy cables to high-tech earbuds to gaming controllers.
Whether you just upgraded to a brand-spanking new iPhone 15 or something else, here are some of the best iPhone accessories you can buy in 2023.

The Anker MagSafe Stand stands out from the competition by including a 15-watt MagSafe charger for the iPhone and separate charging areas for your other devices. Its greatest ability, though, is its ability to charge all three gadgets simultaneously — a rarity among similar products.
