Phones are so good these days that there’s little reason to upgrade every year. In fact, the best Android smartphones and iPhones will last up to seven years, if not more. What needs refreshing are accessories. That case is likely breaking, you need more storage, or you want a longer-lasting battery. Perhaps you just want something to personalize your phone to make it stand out in a sea of sameness.
Whatever the reason, Amazon Prime Day is a good time to stock up on accessories to give your phone and other mobile devices a new lease on life. Note that from our research, prices on electronics have gone up across the board, and we aren't seeing deals as good as we've seen in the past (we've pointed those out wherever we can). Still, a sale is a sale, and if you need something, it's a good time to buy it. Here are some of our recommended products that are on sale right now.

$90Best Buy
WIRED's pick for the best MagSafe portable charger is on sale during Prime Day, but unfortunately, the discount has been fluctuating, and right now, it isn't the lowest we've seen. Still, it's one of Anker's newer batteries, and offers a lot that we like, including Qi2 and MagSafe support, a built-in stand, and a status display.

A portable power bank is just one part of the solution; you still need a cable. This 10,000-mAh battery has a built-in retractable USB-C cord and can fast-charge phones and tablets up to 45 watts.

Champ (Series 2)
$60 $45 (25% off)Amazon
$60Nimble (All)
This is WIRED's pick for the best small power bank. With a size comparable to a deck of cards, this is for those who like to pack light but need to charge multiple devices. It has a 10,000-mAh capacity, but the 20-watt charging speed is slower than some larger power banks.

When you're vacationing somewhere hot, this fan helps you stay cool. Great for kids, it also doubles as a portable battery to keep devices juiced up.

Laptop Power Bank
$135 $96 (29% off)Amazon
$120Best Buy
$120Anker
This power bank might be overkill, but if you're looking to recharge multiple devices—including a laptop—this is our favorite option. It's not the lowest price we've seen, but it's a little lower than average, especially for a 25,000-mAh battery that supports up to 165 watts.

3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Stand
$90 $63 (30% off)Amazon
$80Best Buy
$110Belkin
WIRED's overall recommendation for the best 3-in-1 Apple wireless charger is also what I personally use on my nightstand. Before I snooze, I place my iPhone on the MagSafe charger, Apple Watch on the dedicated charger, and AirPods Pro on the Qi2-compatible base. It's matching its lowest price ever ($63) on Amazon this Prime Day.

HiRise 3 Deluxe
$100 $65 (35% off)Amazon
The HiRise 3 is an elegant stand for charging an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods or another compatible device that supports wireless charging. You can place your phone in landscape orientation to activate StandBy mode, which turns the iPhone into a bedside clock and info display. It's not the cheapest we've seen ($5 more than the last lowest price), but Twelve South makes excellent, high-quality accessories.

$60 $43 (28% off)Amazon
$60Office Depot
$60Belkin
This charger supports only two devices, but its strength is its 25-watt Qi2 pad, which enables faster wireless charging. It's the cheapest we've seen anywhere.

Our pick for the smallest travel charger, this one small accessory recharges a phone (via MagSafe), a Qi2-compatible accessory, and an Apple Watch. For minimalist travel, this charger streamlines the tech you need to bring. At $60 ($30 off), it's the lowest price on Amazon ever.

Another travel charger we recommend, this 15-watt three-in-one (iPhone or Qi2-certified phone with magnetic mounting, Qi2 accessory, and Apple Watch) has a wide base that doubles as a stand. You're getting it at its lowest price ($76) during this sale.

6 in 1 Worldwide Travel Adapter
$19 $16 (16% off)Amazon
This is WIRED's favorite budget travel adapter. It's compatible with outlets in more than 150 countries and has four USB-C and USB-A ports for small devices. The USB ports support a total output of only 30 watts, so you'll need to plug a laptop into the AC outlet.
Best Deals on Cables

$35Anker
When max speed is what matters, Anker's Prime USB-C to USB-C cable is our top pick. We especially like the rugged nylon exterior made from recycled plastic.

Chipolo
Bluetooth Trackers
$39 $33 (15% off)Amazon (Card)
$29 $25 (14% off)Amazon (Pop)
$39 $33 (15% off)Amazon (Loop)
WIRED's overall Bluetooth tracker recommendation is not Tile or AirTag, but Chipolo. Part of a series of trackers, they work well with both Apple- and Google-powered devices. They come in a variety of sizes, like the card here that slips inside a wallet or bag. It's not a deep discount, but it's the lowest we've seen on Prime Day.

Moft
Snap Invisible Phone Tripod Wallet
$50 $35 (30% off)Amazon
One of our favorite wallets comes from Moft, an accessories maker known for fun and innovative designs. Besides a tripod, we like that it has Apple's Find My built in, because if you lose a wallet, it makes sense you'd want to track it.

$35 $23 (34% off)Amazon

The Side Hustle is our pick for the easiest MagSafe wallet thanks to its simple but genius design. Just push out the cards through the opening on the side, and presto, instant access.

Remi Crossbody Phone Case
$158 $134 (15% off)Amazon
$168Bandolier
Who knew Bandolier's crossbody phone cases would become such a hit? Many people don't like carrying their phones in their bags or pockets, and this case gives them instant access. Available for the iPhone 16 to the new iPhone 18, it's our favorite crossbody phone case.

Moft
Snap Duo Watch Band
$40 $32 (20% off)Amazon
Apple makes pretty good bands for its watches, but our favorite silicone option is from Moft. We love how easy it is to snap onto the wrist (hence the name), and it's at its lowest price ever on Amazon.
