Need holiday gift ideas? Grab the best accessories for iPhone, iPad, Mac, more

It’s the time of year for gift giving, and early Black Friday sales are already in full swing. But if you’re like me, you might struggle coming up with holiday gift ideas—both for yourself and for others. New accessories are a great place to start, so here’s a collection of many of the best accessory options out there for Apple users—for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and much more.

iPhone

The iPhone’s MagSafe technology created one of the richest ecosystem of great accessories. Everything from MagSafe chargers to battery packs, car mounts, and more. Also, I never take my iPhone anywhere without AirPods Pro 2 going with it—and they’re currently nearly $100 off.

• Qi2 3-in-1 portable charger
• MagSafe Battery Pack
• ESR MagSafe Car Mount for iPhone
• Anker 65W charging brick for fast charging
• AirPods Pro 2 (only $159, discounted from $249)

iPad

Apple’s iPad lineup offers a lot of variety, from the powerhouse iPad Pro to the surprisingly capable iPad mini. Here are some of the top accessories that pair well with nearly any iPad model you use.

• Apple Pencil Pro (currently only $98—down from $129)
• 100W USB-C power adapter for fast charging
• tomtoc Tablet sleeve bag for protection and style
• Anker USB-C 8-in-1 hub with Ethernet, HDMI, SD, more

Mac

Macs are the workhorse machines that many of us earn our livelihood on. And there are tons of accessories that can upgrade your experience, like additional ports, external storage, and more. Here are my recommendations.

• Samsung T7 external portable SSD
• Anker USB-C 8-in-1 hub with Ethernet, HDMI, SD, more
• tomtoc protective MacBook sleeve bag
• Twelve South aluminum laptop stand for MacBooks

AirPods Pro

AirPods Pro offer accessory options for a variety of users’ needs, such as magnetic straps that keep you from losing them, foam tips for a better fit, and more. One of my personal favorites: AirFly SE for using airplane entertainment systems with AirPods.

• Memory foam AirPods Pro eartips for a more comfortable fit
• AirFly SE for connecting AirPods to in-flight headphone jacks
• Belemay leather case for AirPods Pro
• Magnetic strap neckband for preventing lost AirPods

Vision Pro

The Vision Pro is still fairly early into its life. While you get a lot included in the box upon purchase, the device nonetheless benefits from these additional accessories for desk use, travel, and walking around while spatial computing.

• Vision Pro aluminum dock stand
• Spigen travel case for Vision Pro
• Battery holder with belt clip and more

Apple Watch

Grabbing a portable USB-C charger for my Apple Watch was a decision I made years ago and have been thankful for ever since. Also, if you like to switch Watch bands but find it a pain, I have a great recommendation for you. Finally, some Apple nostalgia in the form of a Nightstand case.

• Anker portable USB-C charger for Apple Watch
• SwapBandIt for easily changing out watch bands
• Retro Mac stand for Apple Watch Nightstand Mode

Apple TV 4K

There are just a few Apple TV 4K accessories that I’ve found especially helpful. I’m a fan of the current Siri Remote, but it can still get lost too easily, and an AirTag-compatible silicone case is a great solution. Also, FaceTime is a solid tvOS feature but it basically requires an iPhone mount. A different kind of mount also enables a minimalist home theater setup.

• Anti-slip silicone case for Siri Remote, AirTag compatible
• TotalMount for mounting Apple TV
• iPhone Continuity Camera mount for Apple TV
