As powerful as an iPhone is, there are certain things it can’t do by itself. For instance, it doesn’t have the ability to stream music for a room packed with people. It can’t solely revive its battery on a single charge after a day or two of constant use. Its camera can’t take micro shots of things. To fully extend the power of an iPhone, you’ll need smartphone accessories. But the sheer number of iPhone accessories available can be pretty overwhelming. Here are the most recommended accessories from stores that sell iPhone units.
Anker PowerCore 20100mAh Power Bank ($48)
Price: $48
A power bank is a vital accessory for your iPhone—or any handheld USB-charged gadget for that matter. The PowerCore is manufactured by Anker, one of the most well-regarded makers of chargers and batteries. The Anker PowerCore is a powerful portable charger. It can charge the iPhone 7 about seven times as effectively as a non-Apple USB charger.
The Anker PowerCore has two USB ports, so you can charge two Apple devices at the same time. It also has built-in short circuit protection to guarantee safe charging each time.
Nomad Rugged Cable
Price: $25
If you often bring your iPhone on outdoor adventures, then you need a cable that can withstand the elements. Known for its extreme durability, the Nomad Rugged Cable is the best one out there. Not to mention, it’s also dirt-resistant and has sealed caps to keep debris out.
The Rugged Cable by Nomad is outfitted with a Lightning connector and a USB. It has a customized tie that is made from liquid silicone rubber. The tie makes it easy to stash away the cable, keeping it tangle-free. This cable works well with the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 8 units.
