6 Amazon Basics Accessories That Work With Your Apple Products
By Elaine Selna
When you want a laptop, smartphone, or tablet, the first place many turn to is Apple. The tech giant's premium electronics are top-notch, but the accessories that go along with them carry a pretty steep price tag. But there are alternatives, such as the Apple-compatible accessories from Amazon Basics, which provide users with high-quality products without the eye-watering cost. From cables to carrying cases, we’ve rounded up six Amazon Basics accessories that work with your Apple products.
1. USB-C to HDMI and USB Port; $40
Most MacBooks now use USB-C ports, which means plugging in your flash drive is impossible without an additional tool. This adapter is compatible with USB, HDMI, and USB-C cables, allowing you to connect a range of accessories and monitors to your laptop without a big hassle.

2. USB-C to Micro USB Adapter with Keychain; $11
Apple cable ports can be pretty choosy, so the ability to turn your USB-C port into a Mirco USB port can be a great tool when the only charger within reach is a Samsung model. This little gadget from Amazon Basics does just that—plus, it comes on a keychain, so it will barely take up any space in your life.

3. Power Bank Battery; $25
This power bank from Amazon Basics is a fourth of the cost of the Apple version, can give two full iPhone charges (or 1.75 Samsung charges) on the go, and is slim enough that you don’t feel like you have an extra phone on you. It doesn’t come with a Lightning cable, but any standard iPhone cable will work with it. You'll only need to charge the device for four and a half hours, and you're all set.

4. Tablet Stand; $11
Tablets are becoming an invaluable tool for anyone who commutes, has kids, or has to juggle multiple projects at once. To go hands-free, though, you need to find the right stand. And this version from Amazon Basics allows you to adjust your tablet (especially iPads) to whatever height you need. The stand is foldable, and the notches will keep your iPad securely in place. And with over 21,000 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, it's a no-brainer. It's easy to use for following recipe videos on YouTube while in the kitchen, and can then be readjusted while on Zoom calls for work.

5. Laptop Carrying Case; $18
Secure your MacBook without overpaying with this 4.7-star-rated case. Whether you have a 13-inch MacBook Air or a 17-inch Pro, you'll find a snug, secure fit for your device. This case is purely utilitarian, but if you don't mind the nondescript look and feel, the $18 price point is an absolute steal.
Buy it: Amazon
6. Lightning USB Cable 2-Pack; $20
A single Apple Lightning USB cable costs $20, but you can get a two-pack from Amazon for the same price (or you could get a single one for $11). This 6-foot-long accessory has a 4.7-star rating and promises a faster charge than standard cables. It's compatible with a whole range of iPhone and iPad models, too.
