CES 2026 showcased how iPhone accessory makers can innovate while offering deep integration with Apple’s ecosystem. Think slimmer and safer iPhone power banks, smarter MagSafe add-ons, and even an accessory that makes your desk less cluttered.

Plus, Apple’s Find My tech is making its way into everyday carry items, while physical keyboards — typically considered a bulky and impractical iPhone accessory — have become more modular, wireless and easier to live with.

Check out the iPhone accessories from CES 2026 that stood out for all the right reasons.

External iPhone batteries don’t have to be cumbersome — several very slim power banks debuted at CES 2026. Clip one of these to the back of your handset, and you’ll add hours of use without adding too much bulk.

Halloween may not be as big a shopping event as Black Friday or Amazon Prime Day, but you can still scare up some spooktastic deals on Apple gear and accessories for various Apple devices. We hunted down 10 must-see bargains on MacBooks, iPads, AirTags, chargers, power stations, headphones and speakers. 

With the PowerBoy 2-in-1 retro game console and power bank, you can play more than 1,500 classic games and charge your phone anywhere. It delivers all the classic fun of your favorite childhood games, along with the functionality of a 5,000mAh portable charger.

Anker’s a top accessories maker for Apple users — maybe most of all for charging needs related to MacBooks and other devices. As usual, Anker Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days sale items could fill a dense catalogue. So we thought we’d put together some top picks for MacBook users. Namely, a choice multiport charger with solid wattage, a great portable power bank with retractable cables and a highly functional docking station with fast transfer speeds and ample connectivity. Check them out below.

Choosing the right power bank can transform how you use your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch throughout the day. We recently gathered the top 10 power banks for Apple users — and six of them are currently on sale at Amazon. These power bank deals include our No. 1 pick, Ugreen’s MagFlow Qi2.2 power bank. It features speedy 25W charging for iPhone, plus charging for other devices. See the deals below.

Few of the products I review end up in my gear bag, but one that made the cut is the Belkin BoostCharge Hybrid Wall Charger 25W + Power Bank 5K. What I love about it is that when I have this accessory with me, I know I can recharge my iPhone, whether I have access to a wall socket or not. That’s because it’s both an external battery and a wall charger in one. It’s even reasonably portable.

Even better, a deal knocks 15% off the price.

With the Anker Nano Power Bank (5K, MagGo, Slim), thin is definitely in. Measuring just 0.34 inches deep, the Qi2 power bank attaches magnetically to MagSafe iPhones and delivers enough juice to get you through a frantic afternoon on the go.

At just 5,000 mAh, it won’t take modern iPhone batteries all the way to 100%. But it will power up a dead iPhone from zero to 20% in a little over 20 minutes. And it does so while attached comfortably to the phone, without the excessive heat generated by some competing power banks.

Finding a reliable power bank that actually delivers on its promises isn’t always easy. For this Ugreen MagFlow power bank review, I put the potent, 10,000mAh Qi2.2 power bank through about two weeks of real-world testing with my iPhone and other devices. Whether you’re getting a new iPhone Series 17 model or not, this cutting-edge power bank could be a good choice.

Ugreen’s new MagFlow Series magnetic wireless chargers bring Qi2’s enhanced 25-watt charging standard to Apple device users, the company said Friday. The five-product lineup promises significantly faster wireless charging speeds while maintaining the magnetic convenience that iPhone users expect from MagSafe accessories.

Anker unveiled its most powerful portable battery yet at IFA Berlin 2025, headlining a refreshed Prime charging ecosystem seeking to seduce power users and mobile professionals. The star of the show is the Anker Prime 300W Power Bank, which delivers unprecedented charging capabilities in an airline-friendly package.

But that’s not all. The lineup also boasts an updated 14-in-1 Prime Docking Station, a 3-in-1 bedside charging station with active cooling and more. They all include AnkerSense View smart displays showing charging speeds and temperatures.

The right travel gadgets make your vacation easier. Whether you’re heading out on a weekend getaway or a long-haul flight across the globe, the correct gear can make all the difference. From keeping your devices charged and connected to ensuring entertainment on the go, today’s travel tech is designed to streamline every leg of the journey.

As a frequent traveler, I’ve built up a collection of accessories: chargers, hubs, portable monitors and more. In this guide, I’ll share my must-have gadgets, hoping they’ll upgrade your travel experience, too — whether you’re a frequent flyer, a digital nomad or just someone who likes to stay plugged in wherever the road leads.

With one great Anker charger deal — or maybe two or three — you can cover most if not all of your device-charging needs.

So with one purchase, you can save up to $55 and get two products at once. Whether you want to save even more with additional purchases is up to you. See the deals below.

Statik’s Snap-N-Charge universal magnetic power bank is small but versatile. Slightly larger than an AirPods Pro case, the 3,000mAh wireless charger comes with three tips — USB-C, Lightning and micro USB — that swap out easily so you can give a quick charge to almost any device.

Just pick the appropriate tip and snap the charger into place magnetically. The Snap-N-Charge can top up an iPhone, a pair of earbuds, a game controller and more. And for a limited time, you can buy a pack of three Snap-N-Charge magnetic power banks for only $64.99 (regularly $89.97).

Power banks with enough juice to keep your MacBook going don’t need to be huge, blocky lumps. The Baseus Blade is as slim as your notebook but holds 20,000mAh. And now you can grab one at almost half off.

Don’t make your laptop bag bigger than necessary with an unwieldy external battery. There’s a better option.

Released earlier this month, the Alogic Ark Pro power bank is a beast of a charger with a big 27,600mAh battery, up to 140 watts of charging power for MacBooks and other devices, an attached cable and a color display. IATA-compliant, it’s the biggest battery you can take on a plane, according to Alogic. The only question is, would you? It’s pretty hefty.

HyperGear’s SolPro 10K Fast Charge Solar Power Bank is a rugged, sun-powered beast that’s built for adventure and ready to keep your devices alive, no matter where you roam.

With a 10,000mAh battery, fast-charging 20W USB-C port and a built-in solar panel for emergency recharging, this power bank is perfect for campers, travelers and anyone who refuses to be held hostage by a dead battery. And right now, you can get yours for just $37.99 (regularly $44.99).

For Apple users seeking a high-capacity portable power solution for all their gear, the new CukTech 30 Power Bank packs a massive 40,000mAh battery, combined charging power of up to 300 watts for up to five devices at once and some useful features, the company said Wednesday.

The mophie Powerstation Plus Ultra plugs directly into a wall, and built-in cables let it plug straight into your iPhone or Mac. But it’s no simple wall adapter — it’s also a 10,000mAh power bank.

I put the all-in-one device to the test. It’s a bit of a brick, but delivers when it counts.

A powerful new Anker Charger (140W) featuring a window display plus “vertical hanging ports” (aka downward-facing ports) to help keep USB-C and USB-A cables secure debuted Monday evening at CES in Las Vegas, the company said.
