Apple puts iPhone 18 Pro cases and new $29 Wrist Strap in stores ahead of launch
Apple has begun selling accessories for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in its stores, a week before the phones launch and a day before pre-orders open. The lineup includes a $49 Silicone Case, a redesigned Clear Case with MagSafe, a $59 TechWoven Case, updated FineWoven Wallets, and a new $29 Wrist Strap made from recycled polyester with embedded magnets.

Notably, the new cases fit iPhone 17 Pro models too, letting existing owners adopt new colors without upgrading their phone. The Wrist Strap also works with AirPods Pro 2 and 3, showing Apple is designing accessories to span multiple product generations and device categories rather than tying them to a single new release.
- iPhone 18 Pro accessories are in Apple Stores ahead of tomorrow's pre-orders and next week's launch.
- New cases are cross-compatible with iPhone 17 Pro models, not just the newest phones.
- The $29 Wrist Strap also works with AirPods Pro 2 and Pro 3, extending its use beyond iPhones.
Apple iPhone TechWoven Case — Apple's TechWoven case brings a fabric-textured finish with MagSafe alignment, and it's the same family of case seen in that burgundy shot with the new wrist strap. Since the Pro case designs carry over across generations, it's a nice way to freshen up your phone even if you're sticking with your current Pro.
