Maybe you scored big this holiday season and were either gifted a shiny new iPhone 16 or you decided to splurge on yourself. Hey, sometimes Santa needs a little help, right? Whatever the case might be, the next step is to stock up on accessories. Smartphone are expensive enough as it is, so before you go hunting for chargers and cases and whatever else, I’ve rounded up some great deals to help save you some coin.
These types of chargers are great if you’ve bought into the Apple ecosystem with multiple devices. Belkin’s 3-in-1 charger has spots for your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, all three of which you can charge at same time when you call it a night (or any time).
What’s also convenient is that you can orient your iPhone in portrait or landscape mode, the latter of which can be handy if you like to watch videos before you drift off to sleep. It attaches magnetically (via MagSafe) and charges at up to 15W.
Do you really need a screen protector these days? That’s debatable, especially on the iPhone 16—Apple claims the device’s second-generation Ceramic Shield glass is 50% tougher than the original that debuted on the iPhone 12. If you want some added peace of mind and/or are worried about micro-scratches, however a screen protector offers cheap protection.
Traditionally, I’ve always dreaded installing screen protectors because a speck of dust or two always manages to sneak in. That wasn’t the case with ESR’s kit. You simply place the tray on your iPhone, pull the dust removal tab, and slide your finger along the opening. There were a couple of air bubbles when I put it on my iPhone, but they were gone by the next day.
Here are some more accessories to consider…
Anker is well represented here because, for the most part, I tried to stick with reputable brands versus the barrage of brands out there that nobody has heard of before. That said, if you spot a great deal that’s not included here, be sure to share it in the comments section below.
