Apple has released a limited-edition MagSafe grip and stand built with accessibility front and center. Designed by Bailey Hikawa after extensive user interviews, the Hikawa Phone Grip & Stand helps people with reduced muscle strength, dexterity, or hand control hold and steady their iPhones with less effort.
Sculptural design that actually helps
The accessory takes visual cues from modern sculpture while focusing on function. It snaps onto any MagSafe-equipped iPhone, detaches easily when you don't need it, and doubles as a stand. You get two viewing angles in both portrait and landscape — handy for video calls, recipes, or watching shows hands-free.

Built for real needs, not just style
Apple says the design came from an extensive interview process aimed at supporting different ways of holding a phone. That means the grip isn't just an aesthetic add-on: it creates a larger, ergonomic surface to reduce strain and improve control for users with limited hand strength or fine motor ability. In short, it’s a practical assistive accessory that also looks contemporary.

Colors, materials and availability
The Hikawa Phone Grip & Stand is available in two finishes: a bold Chartreuse and a Crater option that incorporates recycled materials. Priced at $69.95 with free shipping, the accessory is sold through Apple’s online store as a limited-edition release to mark the company's 40th anniversary of accessibility work.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or buying for someone who would benefit from improved device handling, the Hikawa grip blends thoughtful design with real-world accessibility value.
