The 5 essential accessories for your iPhone

The iPhone comes increasingly bare in the box — no charger, no earphones. These are the five accessories that are truly worth the investment, in order of priority.

1. 20W (or higher) USB-C Charger

Since the iPhone 15, the port is USB-C, and a 20W charger charges about 50% of the battery in 30 minutes. Prefer chargers with certification and overheating protection — your iPhone's battery will thank you in the long run.

2. Quality USB-C or Lightning Cable

Fragile cables are the number one cause of slow and intermittent charging. A braided nylon cable with reinforced ends lasts for years and costs little more than a basic one. For iPhone 15 or newer: USB-C to USB-C. For older models: USB-C to Lightning.

3. Tempered glass screen protector

The screen is the most expensive component to replace. A 9H glass screen protector absorbs the impact of front drops and protects against scratches from keys and coins. Proper application (without bubbles) makes all the difference — in our store, we apply it on the spot.

4. Case suitable for your lifestyle

There isn't "the best case" — there's the best case for you: silicone for light use, reinforced for frequent drops, MagSafe for the magnetic ecosystem. We wrote a complete guide on how to choose the ideal case.

5. Power bank with fast charging

For long days away from home, a 10,000 mAh power bank with Power Delivery charges the iPhone twice and fits in your jacket pocket. Models with MagSafe support magnetically attach to the back — you don't even need a cable.

Bonus: what about MagSafe?

If you have an iPhone 12 or newer, the MagSafe charger is the habit-changing extra: just attach it, it aligns itself, and charges up to 15W wirelessly. It combines perfectly with a compatible case.

All these accessories are available at iCase, with personalized advice at our store in São João da Madeira or through online support. Invest in the right essentials — your iPhone lasts longer and serves you better every day.
