The new accessories include cases for both new iPhone models, as well as items that work with other Apple products. The iPhone 18 Pro cases are also compatible with iPhone 17 Pro phones, which lets customers choose a new color or style made for the latest models without upgrading their device.

The lineup includes Apple's $49 Silicone Case and a redesigned Clear Case with MagSafe, along with a refreshed $59 TechWoven Case. Apple is also selling updated FineWoven Wallet colors and the familiar $59 Crossbody Strap in a wider range of options.

The most notable addition is Apple's new $29 Wrist Strap. It attaches to compatible Apple cases and can also be used with AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 3. The 15.4-inch strap is made with 100% recycled polyester yarn and includes flexible embedded magnets that help it stay neatly aligned around the wrist.

Apple offers the Wrist Strap in black, taupe, olive, crisp blue, magenta, and burgundy. It works with Apple's TechWoven, Silicone, and Clear cases for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, plus several cases made for the iPhone 17 lineup.
