The best iPhone accessories for 2022

Belkin MagSafe car phone mount

As we often rely on our phones as a means of getting from A to B, investing in a phone mount for your car is a wise move. This Belkin phone mount clips onto your car vent so your phone can sit in prime position when you’re driving. Thanks to the magnetic design, if you have a MagSafe compatible iPhone, you can simply place your phone onto the charging pad and it should remain securely in place. This prevents the faff of using tricky and unreliable clips. The device also works with MagSafe phone cases which is a bonus.

You can use the phone mount in both portrait and landscape mode, and there’s a handy cable management system that keeps your cable in an optimal charging position so you can fuel your phone up as you drive.

Joby GripTight ONE tripod 

As we play around with zooms, photographic styles and portrait modes, we often promote ourselves from amateur to professional photographers thanks to iPhone’s impressive camera tech. If you’re looking for an iPhone camera gadget to further your skills, this flexible tripod stand is sure to do the job. The versatile tripod stand holds your phone in place as you take a picture, making group shots a lot easier. You could also use it as a selfie stick as the legs can be used as a handle which is ideal for vloggers and content creators. Thanks to the bendy, wrap-around legs, you could even hang your phone from a tree if you fancy.

It’s worth noting that this device works with a range of smart phones, so you don’t have to be an iPhone user to get experimental with your snaps.
