iPhone 13 Models and Differences

When picking the best iPhone 13 accessories, you need to keep in mind the iPhone model you have. There are four different iPhone 13 models — the base iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 mini, the iPhone 13 Pro, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. All four versions have different specs, requirements, and compatibility when it comes to accessories. This issue is especially strong for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, as accessories made to fit other iPhone 13 models would not work for it. The incompatibility is due to its larger size and screen. This is a screen big enough that we consider the iPhone 13 Pro Max as one of the best phablets instead of a standard smartphone.

 

What Are the Best iPhone 13 Accessories Available?

Best iPhone 13 accessories

As we said earlier, there are a lot of choices when it comes to the best iPhone 13 accessories. Due to this, we will split this list into a few categories and present a few options for each of them. We will choose three essential accessories as our premium, best choice, and best value picks that we feel are must-haves for a complete iPhone 13 experience. We will also consider important notes about each accessory like its brand and compatibility.

iPhone Cases

When it comes to the best iPhone 13 accessories, phone cases are some of the most essential. Not only do these vital accessories protect your phone and screen from shocks and falls, but you can also use them to personalize your device. For this section, we focused more on the protective aspect of iPhone 13 cases, so portable batteries and the like will be in another section.

 

Brand: Lifeproof

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Pro, Pro Max

Lifeproof’s FRE series for iPhone 13 is one of the more complicated and hardy designs from the brand. Their FRE series with Magsafe technology is not only shockproof; it is also waterproof. It has one downside, though, as the waterproofing option does make the iPhone’s speaker sound muffled due to its watertight seal. Lifeproof also does not have a version for the iPhone 13 Mini but has versions for the basic iPhone 13, Pro, and Pro Max models. The Lifeproof FRE is guaranteed to protect your phone from water, dirt, snow, and drops.

 

Brand: Otterbox

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

The Otterbox Commuter series is a strong protective case that has been tested on and passed military standards (MIL-STD-810G 516.6). Even without the Lifeproof’s waterproofing capabilities, it can handle any drop, fall, or shock that may harm your phone. It has MagSafe compatibility, so you can just stick to your other accessories, and it will work through the case. Aside from that, it also has long-lasting anti-microbial features that keep your phone clean. Compared to the Lifeproof FRE, Otterbox’s Commuter Series does have versions for all four iPhone 13 models.

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

The last iPhone 13 case that gets our hearty recommendation is Apple’s own iPhone 13 case offers. While Apple has a silicon case, we prefer the look and feel of the leather case more. Aside from the fact that leather cases feel more natural, they also give a slightly better grip compared to silicone. There is not much to say about this accessory except to mention that it is also MagSafe compatible and comes in five different colors. If you want a simple case and do not expect much wear and tear on it, Apple’s iPhone 13 leather case should be a good choice.

 

Wired Chargers

One of the annoying things about buying an iPhone 13 is it doesn’t have a power adapter out of the box, which forces pretty much everyone to buy a charger separately. While at it, it’s better to pick the best ones that can last a long time. For this list of wired chargers, we will consider the iPhone 13’s maximum fast charging capacity of 23W and 27W (on the iPhone 13 Pro Max).

Related: What to Do When Your iPhone Is Not Charging

 

Brand: Anker

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Our first pick when it comes to wired chargers for iPhone 13 is Anker’s Nano II. Small at just 1.25×1.2×1.5 inches, it is a great travel charger that supports high-speed charging for up to 30W. While there are also 45W and 65W versions, the 30W version is more than enough for the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 27W maximum fast charge. The one negative aspect of the Nano II is how the 30W version’s plug prongs do not fold or retract into the charger’s body.

 

Brand: Belkin

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

One of the best iPhone 13 accessories for those who are always behind the wheel is Belkin’s 20W Fast Car Charger. While it does not fully utilize the iPhone 13’s 23W fast charging capacity, it does support charging two devices at the same time. One device would charge at 20W (through the USB-C port), while the other would charge at 12W (through the USB-A port).

 

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

The standard iPhone 13 charger is Apple’s 30W USB-C Power Adapter. We feel that this should have been with the iPhone 13 out of the box. Regardless, the 30W adapter is everything you would need out of a wired charger and is certain to work properly with all Apple products.

 

Wireless and Qi Chargers

Wireless chargers and Qi Chargers are some of the more user-friendly additions to any list of the best iPhone 13 accessories. All models of the iPhone 13 support 15W wireless MagSafe charging and 7.5W Qi magnetic fast charging.

 

Brand: Anker

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

The best iPhone 13 accessories for those on the go include Anker’s 15W PowerWave Pad. This handy device fully utilizes the iPhone 13’s 7.5W Qi fast charging feature to quickly charge your phone. It has an aluminum frame, anti-slip silicone pads, and an intuitive LED indicator to alert you about your iPhone’s charging status. Its premium design and good quality construction let you charge your phone without hassles.

 

Brand: Anker

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

A good competitor to Anker’s PowerWave, Belkin’s BoostCharge 15W offers very similar features. It also fully utilizes the iPhone 13’s 7.5W Qi fast charging feature and is compatible with all Qi-enabled devices. The two products do differ in their construction, though, as the BoostCharge features a more plastic-heavy construction. It does make up for it with an included Quick Charge 3.0 compatible wall charger/adapter.

 

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Apple’s original and lightweight iPhone 13 MagSafe charger is a perfect plug and charge device. Due to its MagSafe technology, you can just magnetically clip it onto your phone and forget about it. While this feature is a welcome one, it does have the downside of needing a wired connection to a 20W charging adapter.

 

Battery Packs or Portable Chargers

Chargers and phone cases are not the only choices when picking the best iPhone 13 accessories. You can also choose from battery packs and portable batteries. These are sometimes confused for portable power banks. The main difference between these products is simple; portable power banks are meant to charge your phone’s battery. Meanwhile, battery packs or portable chargers are meant to temporarily replace or supplement your iPhone 13’s battery.

Related: What to Do If Your iPhone Battery Is Drains Fast

 

Brand: Anker

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

While Apple has its own MagSafe battery pack, we consider Anker’s 622 MagGo pack better. This is mostly due to its larger 5000 mAh battery, which is even bigger than the iPhone 13’s own 3240 mAh one. The added power does come with a few downsides, though. Not only is the pack quite thick, but it is also a bit heavy at 5 ounces. That said, the 622 MagGo does double as a nifty phone stand as well!

 

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Another MagSafe-capable device, Apple’s lithium-ion battery pack only has a 1,460 mAh battery. This gives you nearly half the capacity of the iPhone 13’s battery (3240 mAh) without the hassles of bringing a heavy power bank. While this may not be much, it should give your iPhone a good boost in operation time, depending on how heavy you use it.

 

Brand: iWALK

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Our third pick for an iPhone 13 battery pack is iWALK’s portable charger. With a capacity of 4500 mAh, it is a lot larger than Apple’s own battery pack. Even with this advantage, though, it is a lot more inconvenient. Compared to Anker and Apple’s offers, iWALK’s charger does not have wireless charging. Instead, it uses the iPhone’s Lightning port to supplement the iPhone’s battery. While bulky and somewhat hard to handle, it is a good choice for iPhone users who do not mind the extra attachment.

 

Portable Powerbanks

While we have a full list of the best power banks and portable chargers, some are a better fit for the iPhone 13 than others. When it comes to the best iPhone 13 accessories, we feel that these power banks are the ones that best fit the iPhone 13.

 

Brand: Morphie

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

With 6,000 mAh of power, an integrated Micro-USB+Lightning cable, and priority charging, Morphie’s Powerstation Plus is probably the best iPhone 13 accessory you can have at its price range. Not only is it cheap, but it is also functional and able to recharge your phone at least once fully. While it may not have a screen indicator, the LED power indicators are enough for most uses. However, the best part about the Powerstation Plus is its integrated Micro-USB+Lightning cable that does not even require you to have a separate Lightning cable to charge your phone.

 

Brand: Otterbox

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Otterbox’s power bank is also a good alternative when picking power banks for the iPhone 13. With a capacity of 5,000 mAhs of power, a free 3-in-1 cable (USB-A to USB-C, Lightning, and Micro-USB), and solid construction, Otterbox put some thought into its design. Aside from its specs, it is also sleek, smooth, and light enough to easily be carried in bags.

 

Brand: Romoss

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Romoss’ Sense 8P+ is a good companion to any iPhone 13 model. Not only does it have three input and output ports (Micro-USB, Lightning, USB Type-C), but it also has support for 18W Quick Charge technology. The inclusion of the lightning port lets you use the iPhone’s normal wired charger on the Romoss without switching cables. Aside from that, the Sense 8P+ is a standard power bank. Light, cheap, and hardy, the Sense 8P+ is a good portable power bank.

 

Bluetooth Headphones

Those choosing the best iPhone 13 accessories will have to choose a headphone to complete their set. There are even more choices when it comes to Bluetooth headphones due to the differences between in-ear headphones and over-ear headphones. For this section, we will give our best picks for both headphone types.

 

Brand: Sennheiser

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

One of the best multipoint Bluetooth headsets on the market, Sennheiser’s Momentum 3 blows other headsets out of the competition. Not only does it come from one of the world’s premier audio experts, but it also has a few bonuses in its favor. It is one of the few truly advanced multipoint Bluetooth devices out there. This allows the Momentum 3 to connect to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. You can listen to Hi-Fi music from your Mac while getting notifications from your iPhone 13.

 

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Superior to the original AirPods or the AirPods 2, this in-ear device is guaranteed to work with any model of the iPhone 13. It has several advanced features, including Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, Adaptive EQ, and Spatial Audio. Aside from that, the AirPods Pro also has MagSafe technology and works with other iPhone 13 chargers.

 

Bluetooth Speakers

A companion to a Bluetooth headphone is a Bluetooth speaker, which comprises some of the best iPhone 13 accessories. There is a wide range of options to choose from when picking a Bluetooth speaker. From waterproof ones to ones with long battery life, we will present some of the best Bluetooth speakers to choose from.

 

Brand: Anker

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

The Anker Soundcore 2 might just have the strongest battery ever in a Bluetooth speaker. Able to play your music for a full 24 hours, it is a perfect fit for summer parties, birthday BBQs, and other fun outings. It is also IPX7 certified to last being submerged in water for 1 meter underwater for up to 30 minutes. Aside from that, the Soundcore 2 only needs to charge for three hours before it puts out another full day of music!

 

Brand: Ultimate Ears

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Ultimate Ears’ Wonderboom 2 is IP67 certified. This means that not only is it waterproof, but it is also fully dustproof. It has a 360-degree sound output and has a special stereo mode. This mode lets two linked Wonderbooms play music at the same time in mono mode. While it can give the Anker Soundcore 2 a run for its money, it has one big downside. The Wonderboom 2 can only play continuously for 13 hours.

 

Dongles and Extenders

While the iPhone 13 has been praised by users and reviewers, one of the main critiques against it is its lack of connectivity. Having only a Lightning port, users who need 3.5mm audio jacks, HDMI, or VGA ports need to use a dongle. Due to some compatibility and quality issues, we suggest getting only MFi certified or Apple-made dongles for your iPhone 13.

 

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

This dongle lets you convert your Lightning port into an HDMI port. The dongle lets you display video and audio content to screens with a quality of up to 1080p HD.

 

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

This dongle is mainly used to connect a third-party USB Type-A camera to your iPhone 13. It uses USB3 technology to transfer files and data at USB3 speeds. You can also use this dongle to connect USB hubs to your device. Other USB Type-A compatible devices can also connect to your iPhone 13 via this bundle.

 

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

The savior of many wired headphone users, this dongle converts your iPhone 13’s Lightning port into a 3.5 mm port. This allows you to plug in any 3.5mm audio device.

 

iPhone Stands and Docks

There are a lot of different stands and docks that compliment the iPhone 13 and its array of the best iPhone 13 accessories. Some of these are simple stands like the Omoton C4 that lets you rest your phone in relative safety. Other stands and docks, meanwhile, are also wireless chargers that complement your iPhone and other devices like AirPods or the Apple Watch.

 

Brand: Belkin

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

A combined iPhone 13 and AirPod, and Apple Watch charger, the Belkin MagSafe 3-in-1 is a wireless charging stand. It has two prongs with MagSafe tips to allow your iPhone 13 and Apple Watch to safely charge. At the same time, a small indent on its pedestal perfectly fits the AirPod’s case and charges it. Its three MagSafe chargers feature 15W wireless charging and quickly fill up your phone’s battery.

 

Brand: Torras

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

One of the more stable car phone holders, the Torras phone holder relies on either its suction cup base or the included vent clip for this stability. Able to fit even the iPhone 13 Pro Max, this car phone holder is sure to make your driving easier!

 

Brand: Omoton

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

A far simpler offer, the Omoton’s C4 is built of cut premium aluminum alloy. With this heavy base, combined with anti-scratch and slip silicone pads, these protectors prevent your phone from sliding and scratching. Aside from that, this stand is very portable as it folds into a compact and easily carried design.

 

Smart Watches

Among the best iPhone 13 accessories, smartwatches might be one of the most important. Not only do these have their own advanced features, but they also complement and enhance your own iPhone 13 experience as well. Whether it is through health trackers or GPS, there are a lot of pluses to getting a smartwatch.

 

Brand: Amazfit

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

A tactical smartwatch, the Amazfit T-Rex Pro is MIL-STD-810 (G) certified. It is tested to work even in the harshest conditions and continue working regardless. Aside from that, it has over 100 sports modes that help you pace and regulate yourself when working out. The Amazfit (now Zepp) app also works on your iPhone 13 and gives even more features like sleep monitoring and exercise schedule.

 

Brand: Apple

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

The seventh series of the Apple Watch is the most feature-filled version to ever come out. With a retina display that’s 20% larger than the 6th series, IP6X dust resistance, activity trackers, heart rate monitors, and GPS connectivity, the 7th series is a perfect partner to the iPhone 13.

 

Styli

One of the best iPhone 13 accessories you can get is a stylus. While smartphones with an integrated stylus are not as popular as it was before, there are still a lot of advantages to having one. Part of this is for people who like doodling on their iPhone drawing apps or those who need accuracy in clicking. Even if the iPhone 13’s small screen might make it awkward as a drawing tablet, having a stylus is a big plus in any situation.

 

Brand: Adonit

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Featuring palm rejection, a 1.9mm tip, 15 hours of continuous battery life, and 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, the Adonit Pixel is the best stylus for any iPhone 13 model. The Pixel also features an LED light that shows its battery state, Bluetooth connectivity, and a smooth and natural writing experience. Because Apple’s own Apple Pencil does not work for iPhones, the Adonit Pixel is the best stylus you can get for any iPhone model.

 

Brand: FiftyThree

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

A good alternative to Adonit’s Pixel stylus is FiftyThree’s Digital Stylus. Simple, minimalist, and light at just 34g, this stylus has all the basic needs for an active stylus. It has pressure and tilts sensitivity, a built-in “eraser” at its top end, and a battery that lasts for a month with only 90 minutes of charging.

 

Other Interesting Accessories

Some of the best iPhone 13 accessories are more niche items, like waterproof pouches or DACs (digital-to-analog converters). These accessories are usually for amateurs, enthusiasts, or fans with different hobbies.

 

Brand: PhoneSoap

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

A virtual must for these COVID-19 times, the PhoneSoap Pro is one of the better UV sanitizers out there. Able to fit even the large 6.7-inch screens of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the PhoneSoap can easily fit the smaller iPhone 13 models with their phone cases installed. The PhoneSoap can properly disinfect any device due to its 360-degree UV light coverage that kills 99.9% of all germs.

 

Brand: Periodic Audio

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

The Periodic Audio Rhodium is a DAC or digital-to-analog converter. While quite similar to Apple’s Lightning to 3.5mm dongle, this fun device is fine-tuned to convert your digital music better than any normal dongle. Converting at 32 bit/384 kHz, the Rhodium lets you listen to your Hi-Fi music with higher quality than the normal dongle.

 

Brand: iClever

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

No accessory setup is ever complete without a Bluetooth keyboard, and for the iPhone 13, we suggest the iClever BK08. While the BK08 does have a multi-point touchpad, it does not work for iOS devices. Even with that loss, it does have a fully functioning 75% QWERTY keyboard and works for 60 straight hours with normal use.

 

Brand: Fugetech

Compatibility: iPhone 13, Mini, Pro, Pro Max

Whether you are a tourist, an influencer, or just a student who needs a good tripod for your online classes, you’d probably want something like the Fugetech FT-569. Not only is the FT-569 extendable to 51”, but it also has an attached Bluetooth remote that converts your iPhone 13 into a tripod-mounted camera.

 

And there you have it — some of the best iPhone 13 accessories in 2022. We hope you found at least one of these accessories useful enough to add to your collection. Do not forget to check which version of iPhone 13 you own before committing to the accessories on this list, especially when it comes to the phone cases.
