Apple's recently unveiled iPhone 16 series is availble for preorders starting from September 13 and will arrive on September 20. However, Beats, an Apple-owned popular headphone brand has announced its first-ever smartphone cases collection for the flagship.

The new flagship models include, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max offering a more enhanced performance, cameras, and a variety of AI-powered features.

Beats’ cases for iPhone 16 series

The Beats cases offer MagSafe compatibility and support for the newly announced Camera Control button exclusive to the iPhone 16 series.

The cases feature a hardshell polycarbonate back with “flexible sidewalls” to help absorb any shock. A microfiber lining is present to protect the iPhone’s finish.

The audio brand revealed that the outer surface of each case was treated with a “glossy scratch-resistant coating,” a feature that comes in response to Apple’s problematic micro twill FineWoven cases which due to being prone to scratches are now discontinued.

Additionally, to support iPhone 16’s new Camera Control button, the cases are equipped with a sapphire crystal along a conductive layer and extra magnets to ensure a safe and secure connection with MagSafe and Qi2 wireless chargers.
