Apple’s fascination with high-end, slightly offbeat iPhone accessories isn’t slowing down. After dropping the iPhone Pocket (that starts from $150), the company is back with another designer collaboration — this time a MagSafe grip and stand.

The new accessory, called the Hikawa Phone Grip & Stand, attaches magnetically to the back of any MagSafe-equipped iPhone. At a glance, it looks like a more artsy version of the PopSocket, but Apple is pushing the angle that this one is different. And to be fair, the backstory is a little bit interesting than the average grip.

The designer behind it, Bailey Hikawa, has spent years making sculptural, ergonomic iPhone grips and cases. Her work caught Apple’s attention because she wasn’t just riffing on aesthetics; she was trying to build something that’s easier for all kinds of hands to use. According to Apple, the design process involved interviewing people with limited hand strength, dexterity issues, or conditions that make it harder to hold a phone steady. The end result is meant to reduce the effort needed to keep an iPhone in your hand.

Apple is selling the grip in two colors: a loud, neon Chartreuse and a more muted Crater finish that appears to use recycled materials. The shape is a bit quirky — almost like a soft, silicone loop with a cutout in the middle. It’s intentionally flexible and low-tension, so you’re not fighting to slide your fingers in or keep a grip on it. Hikawa’s own website lists a couple of extra colors, including Cobalt Blue and a Blurple Swirl pattern, but the price is the same $69.95 no matter where you buy it.

As for compatibility, it’s simple: if your phone has MagSafe (iPhone 12 and newer), this grip will work. MagSafe cases are supported too, and it fits every size from the Mini all the way up to the Pro Max.

Earlier this month, along with the launch of the OnePlus Ace 2 smartphone, the Chinese company also announced 27W Freezing Point Cooling Back Clip, a smartphone accessory to ensure that the phone’s thermals remain in check.

Today, the OnePlus 27W Freezing Point Cooling Back Clip has been launched and is now available for purchase in the Chinese market for the price of 219 yuan, which is about $32.

The product comes with a white-colored shell, while the fan is red in color and is rated for 1800mm² cooling. It is claimed to cool the temperature down from 33°C to 17°C. When the product is connected to the OnePlus Ace 2, it can enable the overclocking mode on the smartphone.

Based on the details shared by the company on the product page, the OnePlus 27W Freezing Point Cooling Back Clip is smaller than the previously released 18W version. The width has been reduced by 9 percent while the weight has been reduced by 14 percent, and it comes equipped with Hall Dual switches.

It has been revealed that the heat-dissipating back clip is compatible with SuperVOOC, PD, and QC and uses a three-position slide switch, and the noise, while it’s in operation, is also low at 22 dB. It has been designed with an aerospace-grade dual-TEC overclocking cooling solution, a custom-made “tornado” radiator, and dual independent control chips.
