Following the launch of the iPhone Pocket, a collaboration between Apple and Issey Miyake, the company discreetly revealed another limited-edition iPhone accessory, this one entirely centered on accessibility. Developed in collaboration with Hikawa, the MagSafe accessory is also more affordable than Apple’s earlier released iPhone Pocket.
“The grip was crafted through a comprehensive interview process to support various methods of holding the iPhone while minimizing the effort required to maintain stability,” stated Bailey Hikawa, product creator of this new iPhone accessory.
The Hikawa iPhone & Grip Stand commemorates the 40th anniversary of accessibility at Apple. On the product description page, Apple notes that it has been designed with direct feedback from individuals with disabilities affecting muscle strength, dexterity, and hand control to create this ergonomic grip for all users. Apple does not specify the price for this product, so customers interested in this unique collaboration should act quickly to obtain it.
Apple has been seeking new collaborations for its accessories.
It appears Apple has gained insights after acquiring Beats – recognized for its numerous partnerships with artists, athletes, and other figures. Observing Apple’s willingness to collaborate with more firms to create distinctive products is certainly something customers appreciate.
The Hikawa iPhone Grip & Stand utilizes magnets to firmly attach the device to any iPhone with MagSafe, while also facilitating easier removal for users. The accessory additionally functions as a stand in both portrait and landscape orientations. It draws inspiration from modern sculpture, and Apple remarks that each Hikawa product is an “art object unto itself.”
The limited-edition accessory is offered in two shades, a high-visibility Chartreuse and recycled Crater, exclusively at Apple’s online store. The product is now available for $69.95. BGR will keep you updated if Apple introduces new iPhone accessories in the future. Meanwhile, you can explore other currently available iPhone 17 accessories such as cases, straps, and more.
