Nothing marks the end of summer quite like Halloween candy, pumpkin spice lattes … and the launch of the new iPhone.
Apple recently announced its latest iPhone 17 family—and with bigger screens, better cameras, mostly longer battery lives and some stylish new colors, you might just be tempted to upgrade this year.
Our uBreakiFix by Asurion experts can help you make the most out of your new iPhone 17 with all the accessories you need, and others that you don’t but you may want anyway.
What you absolutely need
Your number one priority to ensure your iPhone 17 lasts is to get both a case and a screen protector.
Because the iPhone 17 series devices are different from previous phones (including the body, screen, and position of camera lenses and ports), you’ll want a case to keep it looking and functioning like new. Protect from drops with rugged protection or snag a clear style to show off your orange phone. Whatever your style, check out our full selection of handpicked cases here.
You’ll also need a new screen protector to keep your screen from getting damaged. Choose from either glass or liquid protection — both types usually take less than five minutes to apply.
Take it from us, it’s worth spending a few dollars to protect your investment and save you repair costs in the long term. But even if you do have a mishap with your new iPhone 17, our uBreakiFix by Asurion experts will be here to fix it for you.
What you might need
As for cables and adaptors, it depends on how long it’s been since you upgraded, and what you have already. iPhone 17 phones (like the 15 and 16 series before them) have USB-C ports for charging and transferring data. Your new phone will come with a meter-long USB-C to USB-C cable, but if you want a longer or more robust cable, we have plenty of options available. And if you need a wall adaptor for your charging cable, better quality = faster charging. Check out some of our favorites here.
Keep in mind that any lightning-connected headphones or adapters you’ve been using with an iPhone 14 or earlier will not plug directly into your new iPhone 17.
What you don’t need (but may still want!)
The iPhone 17 features fast Qi2 MagSafe wireless charging, which means any Qi-rated wireless charger you have will work, but you'll need a Qi2-rated charger for maximum charging speed. Any MagSafe products that you currently use will still work fine with your new phone, including chargers, cases and car mounts. And all your existing Bluetooth accessories, including wireless headphones and earphones, will connect to your new iPhone 17 without any issues.
If you want to show off your personality with your new iPhone 17, we also have stylish phone grips, chains, case wallets, charms and more.
Our experts have handpicked all the iPhone 17-compatible products on this site for your peace of mind. Shipping and returns are free, and each one comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Enjoy your new phone!
