The iPhone 17 series has been officially released by Apple. With these new devices, Apple is emphasizing enhanced battery life, superior cameras, upgraded processors, and a completely fresh design for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Additionally, there’s a brand-new, ultra-slim model in the iPhone range known as the iPhone Air, which takes the place of the iPhone Plus series.
Although the company asserts that the backs of the latest iPhones are four times more durable than those of the last generation, and the front provides double the resistance thanks to Ceramic Shield 2, these premium devices remain susceptible to damage.
This is where Apple’s accessories come into play. Apple and Beats are not only introducing new protective cases but also crossbody straps and a new iPhone Air MagSafe Battery for the slimmest smartphone in the lineup. Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know about Apple’s latest accessories for the iPhone 17 and the offerings included with each.
Beats showcases its largest assortment of iPhone cases to date
Following the popularity of Beats’ initial iPhone 16 cases released last year, the company is now broadening its selection with Kickstand and Rugged variants. For the Kickstand Case with MagSafe and Camera Control, Beats allows buyers to choose from Lime Stone, Pebble Pink, Bedrock Blue, and Granite Gray color selections.
This case represents an evolution of the original model launched by Beats, maintaining its hard plastic construction. Its distinct feature is a detachable lanyard that opens and connects to a magnetic point on the side of the case. The end of the lanyard can be used as a kickstand. The Kickstand Case with MagSafe and Camera Control is priced at $59.99.
Furthermore, the new Beats Rugged Case with MagSafe and Camera Control is available in Sierra Orange, Rocky Blue, Alpine Gray, and Everest Black for $79.99. What differentiates this case is its combination of a robust plastic back with softer, shock-absorbent sides for added protection of your iPhone.
Apple introduces TechWoven, Clear Case, and crossbody straps for iPhone 17 models
Apple has unveiled a refreshed design for the iPhone 17 Pro cases. After the unsuccessful release of FineWoven, the company aims for users to view TechWoven as a superior alternative. This $59 case is crafted from a unique fabric made of 100% recycled polyester, with the threads interwoven to create a textured, colorful surface.
Apple is also offering a Silicone Case for all four new iPhones. These dependable options are available in Neon Yellow, Anchor Blue, Purple Fog, Light Moss, and Black. Priced at $49.99 each, their distinction this year lies in the new Crossbody Strap feature. Offered in ten colors, this accessory is designed to attach to Apple cases, enabling users to carry their devices across their body. The strap is made using 100% recycled PET yarns and has a cost of $59.99.
Customers may also select the $49 Clear Case. The iPhone Air features exclusive colors in Shadow and Frost ($49 each) along with a bumper reminiscent of the iPhone 4 ($39), available in four colors. Finally, Apple is providing a new MagSafe Battery specifically for the iPhone Air, which the company claims can deliver up to 65% additional charge to the iPhone Air, enabling up to 39 hours of video streaming. This accessory, priced at $100, supports 12W fast wireless charging on the go and can charge smaller accessories via USB-C. You can explore all of Apple’s new iPhone cases at the Apple Store.
