You finally got your flashy new iPhone — here's what to add to it next
Whether it's a simple phone case or a complex drone to capture beautiful landscapes, accessories are fun to add to a new iPhone. Here are seven to get you up and running.
RAVPower Alpha Series Fast Charge Wireless Charging Pad

Many new cordless chargers that let you juice your device wirelessly, have recently come into the market and I have to say — they're so much easier to use, and very freeing. The $39.99 RAVPower (currently on sale for $29.99) is compatible with the iPhone X, along with other Apple smartphone models, and charges up your phone lightning fast. You'll definitely be ditching your faulty iPhone cord.

DJI Mavic Air Drone
At a price that almost rivals the iPhone itself, the Mavic Air can certainly bring some high-flying shots to your photo library
GearBrain
Ever wonder how people on YouTube get those amazing aerial shots of the islands of the Maldives or the mountains of Montana? The $799 Mavic Air will allow you to take striking videos and photos while linking up directly with your iPhone or iPad. Specs include a 3-Axis gimbal camera, 4K 100 Mbps, slow motion video, HDR photos and more — and with 21 minutes of flight time, you're sure to get a hang of flying the thing.
Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge Rockstar
You can charge your iPhone, while still listening to music, with this Belkin Lightning device

If you haven't gotten AirPods yet, (and hoping to wait for AirPods 2) you might want to invest in the meantime in the $44.99 Belkin Lightning device, which lets you simultaneously charge your phone and listen to music with your attached earbuds. Up to 12W pass-through charging powers will let you fill up your iPhone quickly while still having room to play music too.

LuMee cases have a built-in selfie or photo light that illuminates everything in front of it — softer and more flattering than flash while still holding the same power. The $79.95 DuoVibes model even syncs up with music that you play.

PopSockets gadgets let your smartphone stand up or lean on a flat surface.
