📱 The best iPhone 18 Pro accessories you can get
dbrand MNML case
Our new go-to case for the iPhone 18 Pro is dbrand’s MNML case. It combines an ultra-thin design with a grippy, sandstone texture. It’s thick enough to protect your phone from 10-foot drops, and it’s thin enough that it won’t get in your way. It also comes with clicky buttons, MagSafe magnets, Camera Control, and four color options: black, dark blue, tan and dark red to match Apple’s new Burgundy color.
Price: $39
dbrand Skins
If cases aren’t your vibe, dbrand has a plethora of skins you can apply to your iPhone 18 Pro as well. There are tons of different colors and patterns to choose from, including ones that glow in the dark or give your phone a premium feel with materials like genuine leather. They can also safeguard your phone from scratches and chips to the paint over time.
Price: $24.95+
dbrand PRISM 2.0 screen protector
To help protect the display on your shiny new iPhone 18 Pro, we recommend dbrand’s PRISM 2.0. This tempered glass screen protector fits perfectly on the front, giving your display an extra layer of durability to safeguard it from cracks and scratches. It eliminates fingerprints, avoids dust like the plague, and makes it easy to install with a foolproof installation tray in the box. Plus, you get two in case you screw up the first time.
Price: $34.95
Mophie 4-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand
Mophie knocked it out of the park with its new 4-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand. It provides high-speed Qi2 25W wireless charging to juice up your iPhone 18 Pro as quickly as possible, with strong magnets and an adjustable dock to change the angle of the display. There’s also a place to charge your Apple Watch and AirPods, but the most convenient aspect is a built-in retractable USB-C cable. It provides 60W of power to recharge your MacBook or iPad, giving you a single base station to power up all of your daily drivers.
Price: $179.99
Anker Nano Magnetic Power Bank
This 5,000mAh portable power bank from Anker is ideal for those who rely on bigger iPhones to get through the day. Not only will it essentially double your battery life, but it does so in a slim, lightweight package that won’t add much bulk or weight to your device. It’s easy to carry around while your phone is wirelessly charging, and the colors will add a fun pop of vibrancy to your 18 Pro.
Price: $54.99
Nomad 65W Power Adapter with Apple Watch charger
An accessory I’ve been recommending for years is this 65W power adapter from Nomad. Not only does it deliver plenty of power to juice up your iPhone 18 Pro, iPad Pro, or even your MacBook, but there’s also an integrated Apple Watch charger on the top for added convenience. It’s one of those things you throw in your bag and are always glad it’s there in a pinch.
Price: $99
Statik MagStack Pro Charging Cable
My favorite USB-C cables as of late belong to Statik. Equipped with 100W power delivery, a premium woven design that won’t fray, and various lengths to choose from, the cables are the perfect addition to any Apple user’s arsenal. The real kicker? The cables are magnetic, so when you wrap them up, they stay wrapped up. It’s a small convenience, but it also means you won’t end up with a tangled mess in your backpack.
Price: $22.99+
Apple AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case
Apple might have one of the best deals in the wireless earbuds market on its hands. The AirPods 5 give the older AirPods 4 a few big upgrades in sound quality, battery life, and noise cancellation. They help you seal off the world better than any other open-style earbuds, and they integrate with the new Siri AI in iOS 27. Plus, the version with wireless charging costs less than $150, which makes them an even better deal than the older generation.
Price: $149
Sony WH-1000XM6
If you need a pair of headphones that match the premium-ness of your new iPhone 18 Pro, get the Sony WH-1000XM6. While AirPods Max are the default choice for a lot of users, we find the sound quality and ANC to be better on Sony’s headphones. They’re also lighter on your head and more comfortable to wear during long flights, and you get spatial audio support with exceptional battery life.
Price: $479
Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen)
A great Bluetooth speaker to bring on the go is the SoundLink Flex from Bose. With a waterproof design that’s light and easy to carry, up to 12 hours of battery life, speakerphone support, and the ability to pair multiple Bose speakers together for stereo audio, it’s ideal for anyone who needs something louder than the speakers on the iPhone 18 Pro to get the party started. Plus, it’s always on sale for less than $100.
Price: $99 (on sale, $159 regularly)
Apple FineWoven Wallet with MagSafe
For fans of keeping their wallets attached to their phones, you can’t go wrong with the FineWoven Wallet from Apple. The accessory lets you store up to three cards in the slot, and there’s a hole on the back that makes it easy to slide them out when you need them. It’s available in a variety of colors, too, many of which match the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.
Price: $59
Nomad Tracking Card Pro
To keep tabs on a traditional wallet, a purse, or other important items in the Find My app on your iPhone 18 Pro, get the Tracking Card Pro from Nomad. This credit card-sized accessory makes keeping an eye on your valuables really easy, with a slim design made from polycarbonate and aluminum. It can last a whopping 16 months on a full charge, and when it’s time to juice it back up, you can do so via MagSafe wireless charging.
Price: $45
