From fast chargers to wireless power banks and audio enhancements, there are several great accessories for the iPhone 16 that won’t break the bank. Even though the iPhone 16 comes with a premium price tag starting at Rs 79,900, you don’t have to spend a fortune on accessories. Here are five budget-friendly accessories that offer quality and performance, all priced around or under Rs 1,000.
1. CMF Power 65 Charger: Compact, High-Speed Charging Rs 1,199
Although Apple stopped including chargers with iPhones, the CMF Power 65 from Nothing provides excellent value for money. Originally priced at Rs 2,999, it’s now available for Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,200 at many outlets. Compact and lightweight at 150 grams, this GaN (Gallium Nitride) charger features three ports—two USB Type-C and one USB-A. It can charge up to 65W from the Type-C ports, making it ideal for your iPhone 16, tablets, or even notebooks. When charging two devices simultaneously, it supports 45W and 20W charging speeds, which are still fast for iPhones. It’s perfect for direct iPhone charging or via the MagSafe charger.
2. Stuffcool Revel Magnetic Wireless Charger: Fast and Affordable Wireless Charging Rs 1,899
While slightly over Rs 1,000, the Stuffcool Revel includes a magnetic wireless charger, a Type-C to Type-C cable, and a 20W wall charger, making it a great deal for iPhone users. Supporting the faster wireless charging speeds of MagSafe (25W) and Qi2 (15W), this wireless charger is one of the few in India to offer Qi2 compatibility. Its compact, spherical design is just 8mm thin and magnetically attaches to your iPhone, charging it at 15W. It also supports fast charging for Android devices. Given that Apple’s MagSafe charger costs Rs 4,500 without a wall charger, this is a budget-friendly alternative.
3. Portronics Luxcell Wireless Mini Power Bank: Compact Power on the Go Rs 1,199
The Portronics Luxcell Wireless Mini is a budget-friendly power bank, ideal for charging your iPhone when no power outlets are available. With a 10,000mAh capacity, it can charge an iPhone 16 almost twice. It supports both wired (18W via Type-C, 20W via Type-A) and wireless charging (15W, though iPhone 16 charges at 7.5W). Compact at just 136mm and 210 grams, it’s portable and stylish, offering convenience for on-the-go charging.
4. Fiio X Jade Audio JA11 DAC: High-Quality Audio for Wired Earphones Rs 999
For those who prefer using wired earphones with their iPhone 16, the Fiio X Jade Audio JA11 DAC is a great option. This accessory features a Type-C port on one side and a 3.5mm audio jack on the other, connecting your earphones to the iPhone. Made of premium materials like aluminum-magnesium alloy, it offers excellent audio quality, superior to Apple’s own USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. It’s lightweight at just 5 grams and supports phone calls and audio recording, making it ideal for high-quality sound on a budget.
5. SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go: Expand iPhone Storage Rs 799 for 64GB, Rs 1,159 for 128GB
While iPhones don’t support memory cards, you can expand your storage with the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go. This small USB drive has a Type-C port for easy data transfer to and from the iPhone, and a Type-A port for connecting to notebooks or other devices. It’s compact and well-built with a swivel form factor. With USB 3.2 support, transfer speeds are fast, and the Memory Zone app makes backing up data easy. This accessory is a great option for those looking to increase their iPhone’s storage capacity without the hassle of going online.
