“Must-Have iPhone Accessories That Made Waves in 2024!”

Although the iPhone continues to be my preferred travel device, its capabilities can be enhanced with several accessories—whether by leveraging its MagSafe features or by incorporating physical buttons. There are three iPhone accessories that have particularly caught my attention in 2024, starting with the iPhone 15 Pro and now the iPhone 16 Pro. Here’s what you should be informed about them.

Clicks Keyboard Case

I previously utilized the first-generation Clicks Keyboard case for the iPhone 15 Pro but struggled to adjust to it. It was missing several crucial features, which have been rectified in the second-generation version. It still took some time for my thumbs and muscle memory to adapt, but having a complete screen at your service makes it worthwhile.

From a more pleasant exterior for easy pocket storage to a Type-C port for data transfer, Clicks has addressed most of my concerns with this updated product.

The Clicks Keyboard for the iPhone 16 Pro offers an improved typing experience, thanks to a redesigned button configuration. The keys are now angled to provide a more accurate typing process, which required some adjustment on my part, as I was also engaged in discovering the Clicks Mode to unlock its full capabilities.

Clicks Mode may seem tedious when configuring settings in Shortcuts, but the attempt is worthwhile. For example, I’ve established shortcuts for particular contacts and applications, enabling me to reach them without interacting with the screen. While it resets the preset shortcuts, I strongly recommend using this mode to maximize your investment.

Price: $139 for the iPhone 16 Pro

Nomad Slim 65W Charger

This Nomad charger is essential if you frequently travel and wish to minimize your luggage weight. I appreciate its slim profile. It employs GaN technology to maintain a compact size, while the plug folds into the body, making it convenient to fit into even the tightest pockets—all without sacrificing functionality.

It offers 65W rapid charging and dual USB-C PD ports. When utilizing both ports, the blue one provides 45W, while the other outputs 20W. It’s ideal for pairing an iPhone and a MacBook Air. It has accompanied me on my last nine journeys, and I’ve only packed two of these power adapters.

At the time of this writing, the white variant of the Nomad Slim 65W Power Adapter is offered at a 20% discount.

Price: $50

ShiftCam SnapStand Max

If you’re a content creator, this may catch your interest. The ShiftCam SnapStand Max is a MagSafe-compatible mount that extends up to 180cm in height while folding down into a portable 28cm size. It merges the convenience of a selfie stick with the stability of a tripod, all while remaining compact and can tilt up to 200 degrees for various perspectives.

The SnapStand Max also features a built-in Bluetooth remote for hands-free recording. You can secure the stand’s position, get into your desired framing, and begin recording without the need to return to the tripod.

This stand can be paired with other Snap accessories from the brand, like SnapLight for an enhanced vlogging experience. If a smaller option is preferred, there is also the SnapStand Mini; however, the Max provides unmatched convenience while on the move.

Price: $79

These iPhone accessories have made my travels in 2024 more effortless. Although I’ve only utilized the ShiftCam SnapStand Max for a couple of months, the Clicks Keyboard has been a dependable partner, and the Nomad charger has remained in my bag the longest. I’m still on the lookout for a MagSafe power bank that charges my iPhone efficiently without wasteful heat—hopefully, I’ll discover it at CES 2025!
