Finally, a chocolate iPhone case that you can actually eat

Digital Trends is packed with carefully curated collections of cases for iPhones and other smartphones, but up to now, none of the featured cases have been edible. Even those “chocolate” cases you see advertised are merely plastic representations of the tasty treat loved by so many.

Not a big surprise, you might say, as the primary purpose of a smartphone case is to protect the device from scuffs and scrapes, not to satisfy your stomach in an appetite emergency.

But wait. What’s this? An edible case for the iPhone 11? Made from real chocolate? That you can eat?!?

British celebrity baker Matt Adlard showed off the case on Instagram recently after making it using a FormBox kit sent to him by educational startup Makyu. FormBox, which we first heard about back in 2016 when it was a Kickstarter project, is a clever little device that lets you create molds of pretty much any shape. Yes, including that of an iPhone 11.

The video (above) shows Adlard carefully creating the mold before adding the chocolate. Once set, he cuts a hole for the iPhone 11’s two lenses before placing his handset into the finished product.

Commenting on his creation, Adlard wrote in his Instagram post: “This was just the first go with the FormBox … but imagine the possibilities … What do you think @apple — can we stock some for Christmas?!”

In the interest of transparency, it’s only right to point out that there are several drawbacks with a phone case made of chocolate. For starters, it wouldn’t last five minutes with most of you, with the entire product likely disappearing down your gullet in the time it takes to say, “Let’s make another one.”

Secondly, in warmer weather, things could get rather messy as the chocolate melts into a gooey mess inside your pocket. And finally, let’s be frank, this phone case will not protect your phone from knocks and drops. Because it’s made of chocolate.

If you’re on the lookout for a proper case for your iPhone 11, then be sure to check out Digital Trends’ suggestions. Honestly, they’ll safeguard your handset way more effectively than this chocolate one.

This one iPadOS 26 feature has me excited for the iPhone Fold
Semi-open state of a foldable iPhone concept

Samsung is set to launch the seventh generation of its Galaxy Z Fold book-style folding phone this Summer, but its biggest rival is yet to show its folding phone hand. Apple has long been expected to unveil an iPhone Fold, and the latest rumors suggest that it will launch next year.

I’ve used almost every folding phone released globally, with some exceptions for extremely obscure ones. While I've always been curious what an iPhone Fold would look like, I was fairly certain that Apple shouldn't build it, as I wasn’t sure they could deliver on one necessary feature.

These three iOS 26 beta features are my favorite so far
The Liquid Design lock screen on the iOS 26 developer beta 1 running on the iPhone 16 Pro

For fans of the Apple ecosystem, it’s been an incredible week. Apple’s annual WWDC 2025 keynote revealed a whole new Liquid Glass design that’s unified across all its platforms. Also unified across all platforms is the numbering scheme, with iOS 26 designed to represent the year of release… plus one. 

The new platform doesn’t deliver one of the key things I asked for — multitasking, which is available on iPadOS 26 — but it does bring several new features that make the iPhone far more usable.

iOS 26 features on a series of iPhone screens

Apple announced iOS 26 at WWDC 2025, and the new iPhone update comes with a fresh new 'Liquid Glass' look and plenty of features - and there are loads of iOS 26 supported devices, which is great news.

And no, you haven't missed a volley of updates since iOS 18 in 2024. Apple has skipped a bunch of numbers, so instead of giving us iOS 19 in 2025, we got iOS 26 alongside iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26 and tvOS 26. In short, Apple's brought its operating system numbering into line. Nice.
