Alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup, iPhone Air, and more, Apple unveiled a wide range of new accessories across both its own brand and Beats. Here’s everything new.
Apple Silicone Case
Apple has been selling silicone cases since 2013, and this year is no different. The Apple Silicon Case is available for all three new iPhone 17 models. This case is $49 for all models and supports the new Crossbody Strap.
Apple has also updated the iPhone 16e Silicone Case with a new color option, Neon Yellow. It is available for $39.
Apple TechWoven Case
In a follow up to the ill-fated FineWoven Case, Apple has introduced an all-new TechWoven Case. This case is available exclusively for iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This case is $59 for both models and supports the Crossbody Strap. Here is how Apple describes the new case:
This case is made from a custom technical woven fabric, made from 100 percent recycled polyester. Multiple colored yarns are woven together on a Jacquard loom creating a dimensional texture with a rich depth of color. The sides of the case are coated with a lightly textured TPU for better grip. The refined anodized aluminum buttons provide precise and responsive feedback.
Apple Bumper Case
In a real throwback, Apple has revived their line of bumper cases exclusively for the iPhone Air. This bumper is $39 and supports the new Crossbody Strap. Here is how Apple describes it:
The slim and lightweight Bumper is made from reinforced polycarbonate for added edge protection. A new button design provides a precise, crisp click feel and responsive feedback. The Bumper beautifully frames iPhone Air, highlighting its incredibly thin design.

Apple Clear Case
For iPhone 17, Apple’s Clear Case is the same as it has been since 2018. However, for iPhone Air, the case has been updated for the new ultrathin design (described below). And for iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max, there is a white panel that covers the glass panel on the back. These cases are $49 for all models and support the new Crossbody Strap.
iPhone Air Case: This ultrathin translucent case is designed to complement the remarkably thin iPhone Air. The back panel is just 0.9 mm, reinforced with a polycarbonate frame. The inside is lightly frosted, while the exterior is finished to a high gloss. A new button design provides a precise, crisp click feel and responsive feedback. The thin and light iPhone Air Case with MagSafe has been thoughtfully optimized to ensure that your iPhone is protected from scratches and drops.
Other New Apple Accessories
In addition to their many new cases, Apple has introduced a few other new or updated accessories:
Beats Case
Last year, Beats introduced their first-ever cases for iPhone. This year, they have multiple new models. First is a simple case with MagSafe and Camera Control. This case is available for iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air for $45.
Beats Kickstand Case
The Beats Kickstand Case is essentially the Beats Case, but with a removable wrist lanyard that has a magnetic kickstand at the end. This case supports MagSafe and Camera Control and is available for $59 for iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Beats Rugged Case
The Beats Rugged Case is an all-new offering this year. It features MagSafe and Camera Control support. This case is available for iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max for $79. Here is how Apple describes the new case:
This case is built for extra protection from drops and scratches to guard your new iPhone 17 Pro Max and give you ultimate peace of mind. The rugged polymer backing is complemented by additional impact-absorbing sidewalls and an enclosed bottom for enhanced device protection. The textured matte exterior provides extra grip and reduces signs of scratches, smudges, and fingerprints, and the inner microfiber lining gently reduces surface scratches and abrasion.
And that’s it! Of course, Apple is far from the only company offering new accessories. Here are some great iPhone Case options from 3rd-parties:
