Crafted by Los Angeles designer Bailey Hikawa, the accessory commemorates Apple’s 40-year dedication to accessibility. Using MagSafe technology, the grip magnetically attaches to compatible iPhones and can be effortlessly detached when needed. It also functions as a versatile stand, offering users two distinct viewing angles for both portrait and landscape orientations.

This collaborative approach ensures the product addresses real-world usability needs.
Available exclusively through Apple, the Hikawa Phone Grip and Stand comes in two distinct color options: a vibrant, high-visibility Chartreuse and a recycled Crater finish. Priced at $69.95, the accessory is currently available for purchase via Apple’s U.S. online store.
This release follows the recent debut of another limited-edition item, the designer iPhone Pocket, a cross-body pouch that starts at $149.95. Together, these launches highlight Apple’s ongoing strategy of partnering with designers to create unique, functional accessories for its devices.
