Apple relaunches its support and grip accessory to facilitate holding and accessibility of the iPhone

Accessible, designed for everyone and adaptable to any holding style. This is how Apple describes the Hikawa Grip & Stand, a support and grip accessory with an ergonomic and sculptural design designed to promote accessibility to iPhone phones for all audiences, but with a special focus on users with disabilities that affect muscle strength, dexterity and hand movement.

The accessory was initially launched in November 2025 under a limited edition format to celebrate the 40th anniversary of accessibility at Apple and sold out in a matter of hours. Now it returns to the Apple Store with a worldwide circulation, again in collaboration with the artist Bailey Hikawa and PopSockets, the brand specialized in removable grips for smartphones.

Hikawa Grip & Stand is compatible with MagSafe, the magnetic docking and wireless charging system developed by Apple, so it can be easily removed. It is made of high-quality silicone, which offers a soft-touch finish, and serves as a support for using the iPhone both vertically and horizontally. It also makes it easier to hold the device, regardless of the shape of your hands. Thanks to its ergonomic shape, it reduces the physical effort required to hold a device firmly for long periods.

As reflected in the video shared by the brand, the product has been worked with people with disabilities to specifically address the physical challenges that affect grip strength and hand control when using the iPhone. Beyond functionality, its design has also considered the aesthetic aspect, inspired by sculpture.

When it launched last year, the Hikawa Grip & Stand came in lime green and granite gray. Now Apple expands the range of options with three colors: electric blue, a combination of orange and pink, and stone gray. It is sold through the company’s online store for a price of 55 euros.

The relaunch of support is part of a broader accessibility strategy by Apple, and coincides with the announcement of a broader range of features that will be introduced in the remainder of 2026. These include automatically generated subtitles for videos, more detailed image descriptions in VoiceOver or wheelchair controls with eye tracking for Apple Vision Pro.
