Weather-permitting, spring has sprung. And Apple offered a fresh palette of vibrant colors perfect for the season in its new spring collection of iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands Tuesday. The collection features eye-catching new options for iPhone 16 users and Apple Watch enthusiasts, including premium Hermès Apple Watch band editions.
Spring collection of iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands offers a splash of seasonal color
iPhone 16 Silicone Cases
Apple refreshed the iPhone 16 Silicone Case with MagSafe ($49) lineup with four striking new colors: tangerine orange, aquamarine green, peony pink and periwinkle blue. These cheerful additions complement the existing collection of eight colors, which includes the following: black, stone gray, lake green, denim, ultramarine, fuchsia, plum and star fruit.
The cases are available for all four iPhone 16 models (iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max). And the cases are MagSafe-compatible. So they provide stylish protection while adding a pop of springtime color to your device.
Note that Apple Card holders can finance these cases for $4.08 per month over a 12-month period. It’s also important to note that these new case colors are not compatible with the recently launched iPhone 16e, which has its own separate collection of silicone cases in lake green, fuchsia, winter blue, white and black.
