10 Best Apple Accessories UK 2024 | Apple, Belkin and More

If you're a music lover, noise-cancelling earphones are a must. Not only do they offer a truly immersive listening experience and high-quality audio, but they also cut out any sounds in your environment. This makes for a more pleasant commute, or if you need to put in some study time, you can stick on some relaxing tunes and focus without any distraction from the world around you.

Apple's AirPods are some of the best-known earbuds currently available. They're truly noise-cancelling - with a design that adapts to fit your ear - and they're completely wireless, meaning they're super comfortable to wear. You'll get at least 4.5 hours of listening time from a single charge, and they're easy to connect to your iPhone in a matter of seconds.

The Beats range offers excellent alternatives if Apple's AirPods are a little beyond your budget. Like the AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds are completely wireless and feature Active Noise Cancelling technology that dynamically adapts to block out sounds from your surroundings. Unlike the AirPods, they also come in black and red!

Smart speakers have revolutionized our homes, and Apple's offering, the HomePod, is no exception. Like other speakers such as Amazon's Alexa and Google's Nest, the HomePod mini is there to answer questions, play music, and perform various tasks with connected smart home appliances.

However, the HomePod Mini has the upper hand over its competitors because it offers 360-degree audio that fills the room with music, despite it being a relatively small speaker. It also comes in a range of funky colours and an aesthetically-pleasing rounded shape.

If you're an Apple fanatic, the HomePod is a must buy because it connects so seamlessly with other Apple products - in a matter of seconds, you can take a call on your iPhone, immerse yourself in shows on Apple TV, or listen to music on your iMac. Upon purchasing, you even get six months of Apple Music for free, giving you access to millions of songs to enjoy with your new speaker.

Battery life continues to improve, but lengthy charging times are an issue in our busy world. Luckily, charging times are also speeding up, and Apple's MagSafe technology has revolutionized the game, delivering twice as much power as more primitive chargers.

MagSafe chargers are also incredibly convenient, allowing you to charge your phone simply by placing it on a magnetic pad (hence the term 'MagSafe') rather than needing to connect it to a cable. This makes it incredibly easy to give your iPhone a quick recharge while getting ready for a meeting or a night on the town.

Apple offers a range of wireless chargers under their own name as well as those from other brands. If you own several Apple products, you may wish to look out for a multi-charger that allows you to power up several devices simultaneously. This is super convenient, but it's also great for keeping your bedside table clutter-free!

There's a reason that everybody checks for their phone, keys and wallet when they leave the house - it's the smallest, most important items that are easiest to misplace! Apple's Find My Phone app granted iPhone owners several valuable features for locating their lost phone. The Apple AirTag offers a significant update to this service, allowing you to track pretty much anything.

The Apple Airtag is a small disc, around 3 centimetres in diameter, that you can attach to most objects. If you ever lose your beloved item, you can consult your iPhone (or if your iPhone is the lost item, another Apple device) to view its real-time location. 

Once you've located your lost item, there are several steps you can take. If it's nearby, you can play a sound to help you find it; if it's further afield, you can receive directions to its location; and if you're unable to locate it, you can put it in Lost Mode, allowing others to contact you if you find it. The AirTag guarantees that you'll never lose your treasured possessions, making it an indispensable invention.

There's nothing worse than splashing out on a brand new iPhone or iMac only to drop it and chip it accidentally or - worse still - crack the screen. It's hard to enjoy your new device when just using it makes you nervous, and that's why a protective case is an essential purchase.

There's nothing better than an official case for protecting your beloved Apple devices, and Apple's cases are some of the most impressive available. Every case goes through thousands of hours of testing during the design and manufacturing process, so you can rest assured that your devices are safe.

Apple makes their cases from materials like leather or silicone that feel comfortable in your hand whilst remaining robust enough to protect your device from any accidents. Most cases designed for the iPhone 12 onwards are also MagSafe, meaning you don't need to remove them to charge your phone. Apple's cases also look fantastic and come in the most beautiful range of colours we've ever seen!

If you're confused by the range of different ports and cable types currently in existence, we don't blame you. Apple's products are no exception, and it can be challenging to know a USB port from a USB-C port, especially since ports change as Apple devices progress.

A multiport adapter is a device that plugs into your Mac or iPad and contains a variety of ports. It essentially gives you three for the price of one, and with all ports being located next to each other, it offers an easier way of keeping your desk free from tangled cables.

Another benefit of a multiport adapter is that they often include HDMI ports. While these were standard on older Mac models, this is no longer the case, and iPads have never featured an HDMI port. A multiport adapter with an HDMI port makes your device HDMI compatible, allowing you to connect them to projectors or screen displays - perfect for giving presentations or watching movies!

If you're a professional video editor, superior video quality isn't just a preference - it's a necessity. In March 2022, Apple released the Studio Display, the most powerful display they've ever created. Its specs are something to marvel at: the Studio Display boasts a 5k retina display, 14.7 million pixels, one billion colours, and much more.

The Studio Display is also incredibly intuitive, making it ideal for all kinds of studio work. True Tone adjusts the colour temperature to match your environment, and the screen's anti-reflective coating works to reduce glare. You can also choose from a range of stands, including one that's tilt- and height-adjustable and another that allows you to flip between portrait and landscape modes.

The Studio Display also pairs effortlessly with all types of Mac. This is particularly useful with the new Mac Studio, which is incredibly powerful but doesn't come with a screen included, but it also's great for MacBook owners that want to work with a larger screen.
