The long-awaited iPhone 18 Pro has been officially announced, and fans are understandably buzzing with excitement. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are attention-grabbing, with a new high-performing chip, variable aperture, smaller Dynamic Island, and faster charging capability. Apple has also finally introduced the first foldable iPhone, one type of device that Android users have been enjoying for years. Its 7.6-inch display and Apple Pencil support should offer almost the same experience as an iPad mini when it comes to multitasking.

But beyond the new iPhones, there are a few other cool products on the Apple Store that you might have overlooked — accessories. Apple and third-party brands just added a range of new items to complement the new iPhone and round out your setup. If you're grabbing an iPhone 18 Pro, here are 11 other nifty accessories you might want to check out too for your new handset and other Apple devices.

Colorful charging cables

Black or white charging cables don't seem like a problem until you try finding the right one in a drawer full of cords that look exactly the same. To make it easier to spot the right cable next time, check out the new brightly colored charging cables that Beats just dropped on the Apple Store for your Apple devices. There's a five-foot USB-C to USB-C cord in pink, ten-foot USB-C to USB-C in red, and five-foot USB-A to USB-C in pink.

All three cables are designed for both fast charging and data transfer. You can even use them for wired listening to get lossless audio on compatible headphones. It's important to note, though, that the cables have different power ratings when it comes to charging. The pink USB-C to USB-C wire can be used for up to 60W fast charging, while the pink USB-A to USB-C can only handle as much as 15W. The red USB-C to USB-C cable has the highest rating among the three, capable of a maximum of 240W. The data transfer rate is the same across the cables, supporting USB 2.0 rates.

Design-wise, all three cables are made with reinforced braids to prevent kinks and frays that degrade the quality over time. They're built to be tangle-free too. You can get the five-foot cables for $19, while the ten-foot is sold for $30.

Straps for your iPhone/AirPods Pro

If you've dropped your iPhone more times than you can count or are always wondering where to conveniently keep your phone while out and about, it might be a good idea to get the $29 Wrist Strap and $59 Crossbody Strap accessories from Apple. These are woven straps made from 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarns and loop right into any compatible iPhone case with the strap opening. This makes it easier for you to carry your phone and protect it from accidental drops. If you have AirPods Pro 2 and later, you can use the Wrist Strap with the charging case too — no case required. 

Both straps come in multiple colors, perfectly matching the colors of the new iPhone 18 lineup — burgundy, crisp blue, black, and light gray (for the crossbody strap only). There are also other color options to choose from, such as olive, taupe, or magenta, with more colors available for the Crossbody Strap. In terms of length, the Wrist Strap is fixed at 15.4 inches long, while the Crossbody Strap is adjustable and can go from 42.5 inches to 81.9 inches. 

MagSafe wallets for your iPhone

There are two new MagSafe wallets that arrived on the Apple Store shelves: the $59 FineWoven Wallet and $50 MOFT Snap Field MagSafe Wallet Stand. The FineWoven Wallet is a great affordable accessory for your iPhone, especially if you plan on getting the iPhone 18 series. Similar to the Wrist Strap and Crossbody Strap, it's available in iPhone 18 colors, so it should blend right onto the back of your device. The wallet itself uses durable microtwill for the material and is large enough to hold as many as three cards. Since it's MagSafe-compatible, it securely attaches to your bare iPhone or any MagSafe case. For your peace of mind, the FineWoven Wallet accessory is also designed to work with Find My. If you ever lose it, you can use the Find My app to check its location. 

If you're carrying more than cards, you can go with the MOFT Snap Field instead. It can store a maximum of eight cards, along with some coins and small trinkets. Unlike the FineWoven Wallet, though, the MOFT Snap Field isn't open-access. It features a fold-over cover to secure your belongings. Conveniently, the wallet doubles as a stand; you can just pull it upward to expand it. You can get the MOFT Snap Field in green, purple, and black. 

New band and key ring colors for your Apple Watch and AirTag

To complete the look of your setup and ensure your Apple Watch and AirTag match the color of your new iPhone 18, Apple also released new colors for the watch bands and key ring. The $35 AirTag FineWoven Key Ring is offered in burgundy, wildflower blue, dark olive, navy, and black. It's the perfect fit for your AirTag and keeps your tracker securely in place wherever you take it.

The $49 Sport Band for the Apple Watch, on the other hand, also comes in the same exact colors, with the addition of sand, magenta, and pale succulent. If you prefer the $49 Sport Loop, the new burgundy, burgundy plaid and light umber plaid colors are worth checking out. Then, there's also the $199 Modern Buckle bands that feature a new woven material dotted with tiny colored flecks and accented with gold- or silver-colored hardware. You can only get it in four colors, though: mulberry, sage, camel, and navy blue. 

How we picked these Apple accessories

The Apple Store features a bunch of new arrivals in the Accessories category, but we only selected those that can work with multiple device models. We also mostly focused on products that would either pair really well with the iPhone 18 series or are unique enough to add to your tech setup. They're all new accessories that have launched around the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, that are compatible with the new smartphone and other relevant Apple devices.
