Apple
As we reported earlier this morning, Apple will be introducing a clear case for iPhone XR. While Apple has offered a number of leather and silicone cases, this is the first time that they’ve offered an in-house see-through option. But before you go running to the Apple store there’s something we need to tell you. Paying $40+ for a clear case is outrageous. As you’d expect, Apple is going to have a hefty markup on this new product while the market is filled with lower-cost alternatives. Head below for our roundup of the best iPhone XR clear case alternatives that cost a fraction of Apple’s official option.
Apple has simplified its lineup of BeatsX headphones. Prior to today, the company sold seven color options of the W1-enabled headphones at $149.95, but that lineup has been cut to just two colors and a more affordable $119.95 price point.
Despite the BeatsX pricing changes at Apple, however, you can still find them for less at various other retailers.
Grovemade is well-known for producing finely crafted accessories for Apple devices and more. The company has now announced that its lineup of leather and wood iPhone cases and bumpers is available for iPhone XS and XS Max with XR versions coming soon.
Belkin has shared its latest dual charging docks for iPhone and Apple Watch with the BOOST UP Wireless Charging Dock being the flagship product of the lineup. There’s also a new PowerHouse Charge Dock and both new products are designed to work with iPhone XS, Max, and XR in addition to previous iPhones.
It’s iPhone Xs pre-order day, and a number of carriers are already offering intriguing deals. Both AT&T and Verizon are offering a FREE iPhone 8/Plus 64GB with the purchase of Apple’s latest device. You’ll need to add a new line and use each carrier’s payment plan to lock-in the savings. More details below.
T-Mobile is offering up to $300 off with an eligible trade-in across 24-monthly credits on its payment plan. Sprint meanwhile is offering iPhone Xs 64GB for $0/mo. with eligble trade-in and sign-up on its Sprint Flex lease program. While payment plans aren’t always ideal, these offers are likely to be your only chance at notable savings until the holiday season. Finally, if you pre-order over at Sam’s Club you’ll get a $100 credit.
Don’t forget to swing by our big case roundup for Apple’s latest devices, as you’ll want to have some protection on day one.
Yesterday Apple took the stage at the Steve Jobs Theater to announce its latest devices. Alongside iPhone Xs and XR, we also caught our second glimpse of Apple Watch Series 4. Now it’s time to start thinking pre-orders. Apple will begin accepting orders tomorrow with a September 21st ship date. But there may already be a way to save…
Following the introduction of the iPhone Xs and Apple Watch Series 4, Apple today has cut prices for a variety of products through its online refurbished. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have seen notable price cuts, as has the Apple Watch Series 1, and Series 2.
As expected, Apple has now dropped its latest handsets with the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr. We have now started to list some of the best case options already available and will continue to update this post as more hit store shelves. Be sure to keep an eye on gadgetnewsonline for all the most notable deals on cases and accessories over the next couple weeks and beyond.

Head below for all of the best third-party Apple Watch Series 4 bands on the market today.
