Must Have iPhone 12 Accessories
What’s cooler than the iPhone 12 launch? Its compatible accessories. Yup, all the gizmos that you don’t actually need. The new iPhone features have definitely attracted creative accessories from third party producers and here are some our top picks!
Wireless Charging Car Mount

This was what I was most excited about-- Wireless Charging Magnet Mount. I always hated that piece of magnet you had to stick on your phone case in order to get it mounted on your car dashboard. It defeats the purpose of the sleek iPhone design. Now the new MagSafe technology allows for a strong hold and wireless charging all while you’re driving down quarantine traffic, seamlessly. No more bulky accessories on the back of the phone or having to adjust the mount from tilting downwards.
3 in 1 Charger Dock

I wake up to my iPhone, listen to songs on my AirPod and jog with my Apple Watch. I am basically an Apple ambassador, but aren’t we all at this point. Something like a 3- in-1 charger comes super handy for me, I won’t have to wake up in horror to find out I forgot to charge the Airpods... Again. Instead of coming up with a charging plan for all my devices, I just need to align everything on the dock every night. Moderno Collection’s wireless charging stand allows for Airpod, Apple Watch, and now the iPhone 12 to simultaneously charge together with a sleek design. Best part yet-- you could have your iPhone charge vertically or horizontally, acting as a multifunctional tripod! Let’s just say it comes in handy when filming TikToks in between Zoom meetings.

Unfortunately the pandemic isn’t over yet so flexing your new phone in public isn’t the best thing to do. On top of washing your hands, you should also wash your phone. Yes, your phone, you don’t know how much bacteria is in between those crooks. But don’t go running your iPhone down the tap with dish soap after reading this article! PhoneSoap’s UV sanitizer has a self-timer and patent design to ensure your tech is bacteria and water-free. I love mine and keep it right beside the countertop next to the sink, while I wash my hands my phone is taking a bath too.

Calling all mobile gamers! Regardless if you get the Mini or Pro Max, this gaming controller brings console-level playing experience to your phone. Razer Kishi’s controllers were such a success among Android users that they’ve finally expanded their compatibility to include iPhone users. I am optimistic for compatibility updates among IOS games to complement the Razer Kishi. This will be a great purchase if you’re subscribed to the Apple One, you could wholly experience the App store games at the speed of the A14 Bionic Chip.

Crossbody Phone Case

Who said tech can’t be fashionable? Apple Pay pretty much defeats the purpose of bringing a bag. Instead choose a crossbody phone case instead, it frees up your hand from holding them in your hands while you’re out but always accessible around your body. Bandolier has a wide selection of fashionable crossbodies that will complement your outfit and lifestyle. Most of their designs have a cardholder attached, just in case you need a little kangaroo pouch for safe keeping. When you’re at home and don’t need the strap, it’s easy to remove and adjustable. Did I mention they’re also made out of genuine leather?
