The iPhone has become an indispensable part of the lives of millions of people since it first launched in 2007, and over the past 11 years it has replaced point and shoot cameras, MP3 players, and even some computers. But one of the things that makes the iPhone so versatile is its ability to work with thousands of accessories, some of which allow it to take advantage of built in features (like wireless charging) that the phone can't on its own.

Some iPhone accessories, like high-end bluetooth speakers, can cost hundreds of dollars, but the 22 we've rounded up below cost less than $50. Instead of focusing on niche accessories, we're highlighting the ones that can help you get the most out of your device every day, like a battery that can fully recharge an iPhone multiple times, or cables that are designed not to fray even after heavy use.

In many cases the accessories below are the ones we use with our own iPhones on a regular basis. So whether you're looking for a way to take full advantage of your iPhone's camera, listen to music when you're on the go, or want to keep its back and screen free from cracks and scratches, you'll find what you need below.
