In what may be the most Beats thing to ever happen, the iconic headphone brand is venturing beyond our ears and diving headfirst into... iPhone cases?

That’s right, folks!

And in true Beats fashion, they come with style, sass, and enough bold colours to make your phone feel as fresh as a Coachella headliner. 

Oliver Schusser, Apple’s VP of Apple Music and Beats, had this to say: "Beats has always been synonymous with distinctive style and vibrant colours." Translation: This is the phone case you didn’t know you needed but now can’t live without.

Of course, in true Beats fashion, it’s not all about looks – these cases have brains, too. Equipped with MagSafe, your iPhone 16 will snap into wireless charging nirvana without any of that awkward fumbling around.

These cases are Camera Control compatible. Now, if you’re wondering what that means, you’re not alone. Basically, there’s some kind of sci-fi sapphire crystal and a conductive layer that allows your finger movements to talk to your camera.

Beats is also flexing its eco-conscious muscles. The packaging for these cases is 100% fibre-based, which is fancy talk for "we're trying to save the planet, one sleek phone case at a time." And if that doesn’t give you the warm fuzzies inside, nothing will.

Now, the part we all hate: price tags. These fashionable, tech-savvy cases will set you back £49/ $49/ AU$79 . But hey, think of it as a long-term investment in both your aesthetic and your Instagram content.
