For the one who always loses their car keys
Ever wish you could find the exact location of your lost car keys, luggage or a runaway pet to a millimeter’s degree of accuracy? Look no further than Apple’s AirTags.
Apple released the AIrTags in Spring of 2021 as the ultimate location tracker that can be attached to anything! The AirTag is an independent, functional tracking device. It uses Bluetooth, Apple’s Find My network app, a built-in battery and a new technology called Ultra Wideband (UWB) to detect the exact location of anything attached to the tracking tag. AirTag is Apple’s alternative to competitor Tile.
If the Apple-lover in your life already has an AirTag, checkout these protective, leather AirTag cases.
For the Apple Lifestyle Fan
If you own all the Apple devices, then you have a lot of chargers around your house. Newly released devices do not include chargers and each device charges at different watts, so it’s not easy to find an all-in-one charger. This 3-in-1 for iPhone, iWatch and AirPods wireless charging stand is perfect to charge all your Apple products together in one compact space.
For the avid video watcher
Are you or a friend always watching videos on your iPhone? Video is a major battery drainer with the screen play, downloading and processing of streamed video.
A dead battery or a slow charge interrupting your favorite YouTube channel in the middle of the day is a frustrating, and unnecessary, experience. With Anker’s Nano Durable Fast Charger this will never be a problem again! The Nano fast charger is ultra small and the fastest charging option for iPhones.
Note this unit does NOT include a lightning cable. Considering purchasing a 6ft USB-C to lightning cable separately.
For the nighttime charger that needs an iPhone Accessory
Are you more of an overnight charger? Not satisfied with your current bedtime charging routine? The wood wireless charger is made of bamboo or walnut and is stylish bedroom decor to complement any nightstand or other bedside table.
It also works great as an iPhone desk accessory for the office.
For the roadtripper always on Waze
Always have maps open to navigate around town? The dashboard-mounted wireless car charger is perfect for people who drive a lot and need to keep their iPhone charged to follow directions.
The dashboard mount is reliable and sturdy. The device holder adjusts to support most phone models, including all the iPhone models!
For the iPhone user with butterfingers
Is anyone else notorious for dropping their iPhone almost daily? The moment your phone slips out of your fingers can cause your heart to skip a beat! The right phone case can make sure you never feel that agony again.
A heavy duty iPhone case that is shockproof, scratch-resistant with a protective, durable shell and a silicone protective inner bumper sleeve is guaranteed to protect your iPhone from multiple falls at normal heights, from waist height to overhead.
Note, we do not recommend a case with a built-in screen protector as you will likely damage the screen protector. It is easier and cheaper to only replace the screen protector, instead of buying a whole new iPhone case.
Cases vary based on your iPhone model:
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 12 Pro
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iPhone SE 2nd gen
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone X
- iPhone XR
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
For the iPhone Owner who wants to keep it looking like new
Of all the reasons to keep your iPhone looking new, one of the most important is keeping your screen clean and functional. The Ailun glass screen protector for iPhones is a must have for any cell phone owner, especially to protect your iPhone hardware. The screen protector removes the risk of cracking your iPhone screen, is cheap and can easily be replaced when damaged.
Screen protectors are a great accessory to keep your iPhone screen working like new and to avoid touchscreen issues.
Simply install their protective, replaceable glass screen on top of your iPhone’s screen. Replace when damage occurs.
For the Music lover or frequent video-caller who cares about their ears
Apple’s AirPods Pro are awesome! Since they’re introduction to the market I’ve received nothing but GREAT reviews on the AirPods. The quality is awesome, the battery life is long, the charging is quick. And the best part… they are so COMFORTABLE to wear all day!
In the heat of the Work From Home increase in 2020+, AirPods are a major hit with work-from-home workers who spend a lot of time on video calls. The comfort and seamless syncing with Apple devices and Windows laptops make them so easy to use. You won’t go back to another set of earbuds after trying the AirPods.
For the one with ALL the latest tech and no patience
We all have that one friend running around with no charge left in their devices! Their MacBook Pro is almost dead. Their iPhone is at 5% and they have no idea where they last saw their cell phone charger. With all of the complex life and work activities they have going on, it is no wonder charging is the last thing on this friend’s mind!
Apple’s 30W wall charging adapter is the only charging device this person needs in their tech gadgets. The wall adapter will charge any Apple device at its fastest, compatible charging mode.
For the active music lover sharing good music with friends
A rugged Bluetooth speaker is a must have iPhone accessory for anyone that loves to get out and move! The portable, waterproof, rugged Bluetooth speaker with a built-in power bank that supports 35 hours of play is the ultimate adventure companion.
The portable speaker is perfect to take anywhere from adventures, to golf, work outings, bonfires, beach parties, family get-togethers and much more.
For the Always-on-the-Goer
Some people are always on the go and don’t have time to charge their iPhones during “normal” hours. Having an active lifestyle leads to the need for a flexible charger that can go wherever you go, and charge your device more than once. The portable 10,000 MAh iPhone charging pack is a pocket-sized, portable unit that can charge your iPhone over 2 times!
This Poweradd portable charging unit is slim and fast-charger compatible to charge devices as fast as possible.
For the Germ-minded Apple Fan
After the pandemic, we’re all more mindful of germs and hygiene. Keeping our environments and personal items clean and bacteria free has become a priority. Cell phones and electronic devices can be a habitat for germs and should be cleaned often. UV sanitizing technology is a trusted method for killing bacteria without harming electronic devices.
Get the 360 degree UV sanitizing and wireless charging station for cleaning your iPhone. The awesome thing about the 360 degree sanitizing unit is it cleans anything that fits in the UV disinfection bed! The cleaner removes filth and bacteria from devices with little effort. Turn on the sanitizing unit and wait for cleaning.
For the one who needs a fitness coach
Fitness and good health go hand-in-hand. Modern technology and smart watches make fitness, exercise and training easier to track than ever before. All the data from your workouts can sync to your iPhone for a fitness portal. Tracking exercise data is one of the fastest way to improve results.
The latest Apple Watch Series 6 is the best fitness tracker device for iPhone users. Pick your watch color and band style, wear it, and start tracking your results!
If you can afford to treat yourself to a higher quality product and want to see the most accurate data, invest in the Garmin Fenix 6 Premium. This device is a little pricer and well worth its value. The Fenix 6 features extremely accurate outdoor tracking and activity tracking for fitness fanatics across sports.
