The iPhone 14 is the name of the game in 2022, as we have four devices that look pretty similar to last year’s iPhone 13 lineup. However, there are plenty of differences that warrant an upgrade, such as longer battery life and improved camera hardware. And with these two specific changes, Apple is no longer trying to play the “slimmest and lightest” game any longer. Because of that, you’ll need to jump in with both feet to find to the best iPhone 14 accessories, and we’ve rounded up our favorite options.
Apple’s own Silicone Case is easily one of the best iPhone 14 accessories. The silicone exterior is soft to the touch, yet grippy enough to help ensure it doesn’t slip out of your hands. And of course it’s MagSafe compatible, so it works with all of your existing MagSafe accessories, plus any new ones that will be coming out.
When you think of Nomad cases, you likely think about high-quality, leather cases. The company is wasting no time jumping aboard the battle for the best iPhone 14 cases. Headlining Nomad’s lineup is the ultra-popular Modern Leather Case. It offers a “modern & refined” design that is compatible with all of your favorite MagSafe accessories, and is available in three different leather color options.
Those looking to add a little bit of “spice” or “flair” to their iPhone 14 won’t want to look past the Caseology Nano Pop. This case comes in five different color options, offering a slim and snug profile, along with a raised ring around the camera that shows off whatever color is used for the interior of the case.
Spigen has been making the best iPhone cases for years, and the trend continues as the company is offering some of the best iPhone 14 cases.

You can even stack it on top of a case with MagSafe to create a look that’s unique to you.

It can be a real pain to find the perfect car mount. You need one that’s adjustable but that is also easy to either put your phone in or take it out. With the Belkin MagSafe Car Vent Mount, those problems are a thing of the past, as this can just attach to any of your car vents. And thanks to the strength of MagSafe, your iPhone won’t fall off, even if you’re driving over some really rough terrain.

And in true PopSocket fashion, you can swap out the PopTops to match your mood, or to show off your excitement for the next season of The Mandalorian.

As with most of the best iPhone 14 chargers, this too technically it belongs under both the MagSafe and Charging sections. Being able to have access to the vast array of MagSafe accessories is one thing. But being able to wirelessly charge your iPhone 14 as fast possible is something else entireldy. And in order to do just that, you’ll need to grab Apple’s MagSafe charger.
One of the more surprising product releases was Apple’s redesigned Power Adapter. This one features dual USB-C ports, along with the same detachable plug that we’ve enjoyed on pretty much every recently-released Apple Power Adapter.

Rounding out the pack is the Amazon Basics USB-A to Lightning Cable. There’s nothing super-special about this, aside from its 10,000 bend lifespan. And although many of us believe that USB-C is the way of the future, chances are still have a few chargers laying around that rely on USB-A instead.
If you own an iPhone and either already play a lot of mobile games, or want to play a lot of games, then the answer the question above is a resounding yes.
