  • Apple Leather Case

    The classy option for any new Apple handset, these leather cases are designed to fit the new phones perfectly. I've owned many of these Apple cases and can attest to their quality. The new cases for the iPhone 8 models as well as the iPhone X are available in a number of hues so there's one for every new iPhone. | $45 and up

  • Qi Inductive Charger

    Now that the latest iPhones support Qi wireless charging, Apple wants you to use it everywhere you use your phone. This is great news since there are dozens of wireless charging mats that are already compatible with the iPhone 8 and X. That means you could easily pick up a mat that'll work with your new iPhone 8 right out of the box. Of course, you could also wait until next year and pick up Apple's futuristic, multi-device AirPower charging mat but who wants to wait? Just get this Amazon-approved Choetech alternative instead. | $12

  • Apple Silicone Case

    If leather isn't your style, the vegan-friendly silicon iPhone case is another first-party option. Resilient silicone helps protect your phone from short drops and bumps, and a rainbow of colors can compliment any outfit or lifestyle. I dig the new Ultra Violet color. | $35

  • Apple AirPods

    Since the headphone jack isn't coming back any time soon, it might be time to finally invest in a set of AirPods. These itty-bitty wireless headphones work great with iPhones, giving you hours of streaming over Bluetooth and streamlined pairing with their W1 wireless processor. | $159

    Apple

  • Lightning headphone adapters

    Even though USB-C is quickly becoming the universal port, Apple's stuck with Lightning for another year. If you have a bunch of Lightning cables and accessories, then you're all set. Those coming from an older iPhone that still has a headphone jack will want to load up on the Lightning-to-headphone adapter. Dongle up, pardner.| $9

    Apple

  • New Apple Watch Bands

    There's a brand-new Apple Watch on the horizon and with it comes new, fresh watch bands. Fear not, current Watch owners—the latest styles are fully backwards compatible. These late 2017 styles include a new, flexible Sport Loop band. | $49 and up
