A range of innovative new Apple accessories were launched this year and I was able to put over 40 of them through their paces. Among products for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more, here are my 8 favorite Apple accessories of 2022.
Everything on the list below I personally have found to be always useful and durable – especially after the novelty of a new accessory has been tested.
My 8 Favorite Apple Accessories of 2022
mophie magsafe 3-in-1 travel charger
Even with fantastic products, I usually get some constructive criticism, but that’s not the case here. After a year of use I still can’t see any way to improve on the 3 in 1 travel charger, mophie really knocked it out of the park.
It seamlessly charges iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods with the official 15W MagSafe power supply for iPhone. It has a premium portable design, a thoughtful travel case and everything you need is included – looking at you Apple MagSafe Duo – making it the ultimate travel charger for Apple users.
The mophie 3-in-1 travel charger is available from Apple and live from mophie usually with the latter offering 20% off.

Moft Flash MagSafe Wallet
With a sleek design that offers great form and function, I think the Moft Flash will be a hit with almost anyone who enjoys using a MagSafe wallet with an iPhone. It has become my favorite with a clever blend of form and function.
- Ultra slim bi-fold design
- MagSafe connectivity with built-in stand
- Easy access to cards or to show ID/use NFC
- Durability has been good in the three months I’ve used this
- Great price at $34.99
You can choose one of four colors live from Moft or the black or blue versions on Amazon.

Nomad Base One Max
It has become my favorite home charger for my iPhone and Apple Watch. I kind of think of it as a nice compact sculpture that powers your iPhone and Apple Watch. It looks great in any space you put it in.
- Official MFi Certified MagSafe with 15W Fast Wireless Charging for iPhone
- Built-in Apple Watch charger
- All-metal and glass design
- Powered via USB-C (6.6ft nylon braided cable included)
- Super strong construction weighing 1.98 pounds (900 grams)
- At the price of $149.99
The only downside here is that you have to supply or buy your own 30W power adapter. But if you’re looking for a premium MagSafe charger for your home, this is it.
You can get the Nomad Base One Max live from Nomad in three colors available.

Moft’s design here is the smartest I’ve seen for an iPad folio that offers multiple stand options. Most interesting is a raised stand mode that makes your iPad appear nearly 4″ tall.
- Four iPad stands in one ultralight folio
- Soft and durable vegan leather finish
- Useful for travel or home/office
- At the price of $39.99 (ipad mini) $59.99 (iPad Pro 11″ and iPad Air), $69.99 (iPad Pro 12.9″)

Transcend JetDrive flush SD card
Whether you need a little extra storage with a smaller capacity or the maximum JetDrive of 1TB, this flush SD card for MacBook Pro is a super handy accessory.
From the super-convenient form factor, to dust, water, and shock resistance, plus a generous 5-year warranty, it’s easy to recommend the JetDrive Lite 330 as long as you’re okay with the speeds of 75 to 95 MB/s.

- Dust, water and shock resistant

Insta360 Link 4K Webcam
Insta360 made the leap into webcams this year and the Link 4K is some impressive hardware. If you want a dedicated high-resolution webcam with useful features that go beyond what the iPhone can do with Continuity Camera in macOS Ventura, Link is worth the price.
- Ultra-sharp 4K resolution
- 3 axis gimbal
- Superior AI auto-tracking
- Portrait, DeskView, Overhead and Whiteboard modes
- Fine grain image and camera control
- Compact design with convenient clip or thread option for mounting
- A step above Apple’s Continuity Camera
- USB-C connectivity
- Price: Usually from $299
The Insta360 Link 4K webcam is available straight from the company as well as Insta360 Amazon Showcase.

Nomadic leather case for Apple TV remote control
Nomad’s simple and smart design here is such a delight with the hand feel and added AirTag support.
If you have an Apple TV with the 2nd generation Siri Remote, I can’t recommend the leather cover more strongly. Being something you use frequently, the Leather Cover provides a 10/10 experience when using it daily and makes it easy to find when you – or someone else – has lost it.
You can pick up the leather cover live from Nomad and find out more thoughts from me on this in my full review.
