5 essential add-ons

Enhance your Apple iPhone XS Max experience with this quintet of accessories for work and play

1 Anker Powe rcore 20100

Those batteries, eh? Power-hungry processors and screens can send the charge percentage into freefall. Top it up from this portable power bank, which holds enough juice to completely charge a phone several times over. Our only gripe is that, over micro- USB, filling up such a large tank from the mains can take a long time. £32.99, amazon.co.uk

2 Logite ch Ke ys-to-go

When your phone’s this big, you might be tempted to try and do some work on it, perhaps even on a train. Logitech’s Bluetooth keyboard is just about pocketsized (and definitely bag-sized), and comes in several versions, including one tailored to iPhones. Its full-size keys are comfortable to type on, and the battery lasts three months. £54.99, logitech.com

3 Olloclip Multi Device

Add- on lenses open up a whole world of additional photographic techniques. This is one of the best, and can attach to a range of smartphones. With super wide, telephoto, macro and fisheye lenses available, perhaps you don’t need that DSLR any more. From £34, olloclip.com

4 App le AirPods

There’s no denying these perform at their best when paired with Apple gear. The custom wireless chip pairs without any hassle, and switches between devices at will, so they’re great for switching between your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. £139, apple.com

5 App le Watch Series 4

With a big 40mm or 44mm OLED screen, waterproofing, optional 4G connectivity, and a range of finishes in aluminium or steel that perfectly matches your choice of iPhone, this looks great, fits well, and has some genuinely useful health and fitness features. From £399, apple.com
