Summer is upon us and it is only natural that a new collection of poppy and colorful products is released. June is halfway over and the Apple Store has added many cool accessories for users to enjoy. Examples include Mophie updating its accessory offering, there are new PopSockets, and even Belkin released an exclusive color for its best magnetic charging station.
While many Apple users prefer to use Apple’s own accessories, the company doesn’t offer everything someone might need. Customers can rest easy knowing that these devices meet Apple’s standards and even feature packaging and build quality similar to Apple’s. Third-party brands sell products on the Apple Store to gain visibility, but once customers begin to trust the products, they can usually go directly to those companies’ websites for a greater selection of deals, options, and colors. If you want to shop at the Apple Store, the website was updated in June with some exciting accessories that could improve the way you enjoy iPhone, AirPods, and other Apple devices.
Mophie has three cool new products
Mophie just launched three products directly onto Apple Store shelves: a 4-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand, a 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand, and a Loop AirTag Case. For the 4-in-1 charging station, Mophie is banking on a premium option that lets users charge their iPhone at up to 25W, Apple Watch at up to 7.5W, and AirPods at up to 5W, as well as a 60W retractable USB-C cable that can power a MacBook or iPad. This charger features Qi2.2 capabilities and is also MagSafe compatible, ensuring that Apple products charge more securely on the stand. Mophie uses its StealthCharge technology to prevent devices from overheating while charging, and it comes with a premium, durable stand.
The 3-in-1 option is similar to the 4-in-1: it is Qi2.2 certified and MagSafe compatible. The latest iPhone models can be charged wirelessly at up to 25W, Apple Watch models at up to 7.5W, and AirPods at up to 5W. The company says it also offers “fanless and quiet” charging technology in this product.
Last but not least, Mophie offers a new Knit Loop for AirTag that uses knitted fabric. Available in blue, pink, black, and gray, the company says this accessory features “a compact construction to keep bulk to a minimum.” This device can be easily installed on backpack, luggage, keys, etc.
Two new PopSockets accessories
Popular brand PopSockets has added two new grip accessories: the Low-Pro Grip & Stand and the Kick-Out Grip & Stand. PopSockets is popular with those who want more comfort while holding their phone while still maintaining MagSafe compatibility.
For the Low-Pro Grip & Stand option, PopSockets promotes its ultra-thin design at 2.6mm. The company says it was designed for a “minimalist, user-friendly experience.” With its low-profile stand, iPhone users can also securely place their iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation, whether they’re recording a video, watching something on social media, or making a FaceTime call. This device is available in navy, blue, pink, and black for $39.95.
For PopSockets’ Kick-Out Grip & Stand, the company calls it “the benchmark for comfort, style and hands-free convenience.” Unlike the other model, PopSockets offers different grips: the multi-color option features a star and the green option features a rubber flower. While it’s not as thin as the Low-Pro accessory, the company promises a replaceable grip top and up to twice as strong magnets to ensure the iPhone stays securely connected. Available in four different colors, the Kick-Out accessory also costs $39.95.
Herschel offers 4 new colorful options
The Herschel accessories brand offers several accessories exclusive to Apple users on the Apple Store. Among the new options, it offers a new Cloudform AirPods Charm in blue and pink for $24.95. This accessory is made of padded fabric, offers a zipper and a metal key ring where users can attach their AirTag, keys or the accessory to a backpack. Overall, it’s just a cute little accessory that adds extra protection to your AirPods and helps prevent the case from being scratched. The same goes for its AirPods Tote Bag Charm, available for $19.95; it comes in blue and green. It’s all about being cute and storing your AirPods.
Similar to the Cloudform AirPods Charm, Herschel also offers a brand new AirTag Charm. Available in dark green, blue, pink and green, this accessory costs $19.95. With a zipper, users can attach it to a bag or key, ensuring they always know where they left their belongings.
Finally, Herschel has a new Cloudform Burrard Organized Tech, which costs $58.95 and comes in blue and pink. More than just a cute accessory, this organizer provides plenty of space to hold chargers, cables, and other small devices when you’re traveling, organizing your tech stuff for a week at the office, and more. It is made from lightweight fabric and features zippers.
Belkin UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station
Belkin is focusing on a common strategy among accessory makers: offering an exclusive color for an existing product. In this case, customers can get an exclusive blue version of Belkin’s UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station, instead of the charcoal and sand options already available elsewhere. For $149.95, the dock features the Qi2.2 technology that all the top accessory makers have been promoting recently. With it, Belkin offers up to 25W wireless charging for the latest iPhone models, which can charge the iPhone from 0 to 50% in 25 minutes. For an Apple Watch Series 10 or newer, Belkin claims this stand can charge it from 0 to 80% in 30 minutes. AirPods, as usual, can be charged at the usual 5W power level.
Alongside this pricey stand, Belkin also offers a 45W charger compatible with all iPad models and select MacBook models, as well as a 1.5m USB-C to USB-C cable, ensuring users can enjoy their premium stand with all the right accessories right out of the box. Belkin says this stand was designed so users can charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously, with perfect magnetic alignment, and use the iPhone in portrait and landscape orientation without one device touching the other.
Twelve South PowerClip Power Bank and Charger
The same strategy used by Belkin was also used by Twelve South. Its recently released PowerClip power bank and charger features exclusive colors available only to Apple Store customers. With this, they can choose between teal, pink, white and black.
With the PowerClip, Twelve South has created a smart solution for users who are dangerously close to running out of battery. This ultra-portable power bank is not designed to charge your phone from 0 to 100%. Instead, it’s designed to save you in those times when you’re completely out of battery and just need enough battery to get home, check an address, or call someone. It can be easily attached to your keys or your everyday backpack, and it should be used in an emergency.
According to the company, it can fast charge an iPhone 17 up to 25% of its total capacity. It is possible to recharge this accessory in less than two hours via USB-C, and it has a built-in USB-C cable that can be used to charge the accessory or another device. On top of that, you can add another USB-C port with passthrough charging. An LED battery level indicator shows how much juice you have left. The accessory costs $39.95 and features a carabiner to securely attach it to your other devices.
