Use the Force to protect your iPhone with Otterbox Star Wars cases

Add as a preferred source on Google

Otterbox wants to help protect your phone with the power of the Force, thanks to its latest series of Star Wars-themed iPhone cases: the Symmetry Series Star Wars Collection.

The cases come in a range of different designs, with a number of different Star Wars characters and graphics on them. For example, you could go for the nicely designed graphic of Rey and R2-D2 on Ahch-To, which features the Millennium Falcon in the background, or go for something a little more simple — a red case with the Star Wars logo on the back. Other designs include a graphic of Darth Vader, a stormtrooper, and the adorable BB-8 droid.

The cases themselves are available for the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus — sorry iPhone X users, you’ll have to stick with something else for now. The smaller cases for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 come in at $45, while the larger ones, built for the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus, cost $10 more at $55. That’s a solid chunk of change for a phone case — but the Star Wars branding and the good reputation of Otterbox may make it worth it for many people.

The Otterbox Symmetry Series has been around for some time now, and doesn’t just feature the new Star Wars cases. The series is built to offer a ton of drop protection while still remaining relatively true to your phone’s profile. This is an Otterbox — so don’t expect the most sleek cases out there — but at least you can rest assured that your phone is relatively protected. The already-available Otterbox Symmetry Series offers a pretty massive range of options, and it extends beyond iPhones to include the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy S8 Plus. In keeping with the Disney theme, Otterbox offers Mickey and Minnie Mouse cases, as well as plain cases for those that want something a little more subtle.

You can get the new Otterbox Symmetry Series Star Wars cases for yourself from the Otterbox website. As mentioned, they’ll cost $45 to $55, depending on your iPhone model.

MediaTek’s next flagship processor is already trailing Qualcomm in an early CPU showdown. Geekbench 7 results put MediaTek’s MT6995, expected to launch as the Dimensity 9600 Pro, behind Qualcomm’s SM8975, which is tipped to become the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, in both single-core and multi-core performance.

The MediaTek chip scored 3,242 in single-core and 11,132 in multi-core testing. Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship reached 3,582 and 12,247, giving it roughly a 10% lead in both tests.

iPhone SOS Feature

Usually, footnotes are all about burying bad news from a launch event, something that will hit people where it hurts. But Apple did the opposite with its recent launch. 

Buried in a footnote in this week's iPhone 18 Pro release is good news, specifically for old iPhone users: Apple just extended free access to its satellite-based safety features.

iOS 27 beta 2 update on iPhone

Apple spent plenty of time talking about its shiny new iPhone 18 Pro models this week, but you won't need to buy a new phone to get one of its biggest announcements. iOS 27 officially arrives on September 14, bringing Apple's long-awaited Siri overhaul to supported iPhones. Apple first showed off iOS 27 at WWDC in June, and the software has spent the past few months moving through developer and public betas. Now, the finished version is almost ready for everyone.

Plenty of smaller changes are scattered throughout iOS 27, but Siri AI definitely grabs all the attention. This isn't just Apple adding a few new commands to the existing assistant, either. Siri has been rebuilt to better understand what you're asking and, more importantly, handle multi-step requests.
