With each iPhone release comes a bevy of accessories to complement Apple’s latest gear, and this year, Grovemade is back to accompany the iPhone 7 with its wooden and leather designed cases and wallets.

The Portland, Oregon-based company specializes in designing and handcrafting wooden and leather accessories and introduced a new collection to pair with Apple’s newest releases last week.

Grovemade’s newest products include a folio wallet case, a leather and wood case, a wood case, wood iPhone bumpers, and a wood iPhone dock. Ken Tomita, one of the company’s co-founders, said in a release that the company has refocused its direction to iPhone cases with the latest release.

“We’ve spent the last year creating pocket knives and speaker systems and with the launch of the iPhone 7, the team has returned to its roots by setting out to make the best wooden iPhone accessories on the market,” Tomita said. “Not only have we redesigned our current styles, but we now offer our customers a hybrid wallet case that minimizes everyday carry.”

Quality craftsmanship is at the core of the company’s values, according to the release, as “each case and dock is milled, hand sanded and minimally treated to retain the inherent beauty of the wood.” Each product was conceptualized, fabricated and manufactured in Grovemade’s woodshop in Portland.

The lineup includes variants to fit both the iPhone 7 and the 7 Plus and focuses on minimalist design. The folio wallet case, for example, features a “frame of solid domestically sourced wood with a premium vegetable-tanned leather cover that develops a patina over time.” An interior flat will hold two cards vertically and a few folded bills.

While the wallet isn’t meant to be a rugged, all-purpose wallet to stash the contents of your bank account, it’ll serve as a solid, fashionable accessory item to pair with your new iPhone. The iPhone 7 folio wallet case retails for $129, and an extra $10 for the 7 Plus. Grovemade has made the latest wallet design available for all iPhone 6 variants as well.

I found an amazing new way to use my iPhone 15 Pro Max
The back of a Natural Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max.

When Apple announced the iPhone 15 Pro series last September, there was one feature I was more excited about than anything else: the Action button. Gone was the useless ring/silent slider. In its place was a button we could customize to our exact liking.

I've been using the Action button on my iPhone 15 Pro Max ever since I got it, and for the last few months, it's been programmed to open the camera app. It's convenient, but it's also nothing particularly exciting. Recently, though, I found a new and unexpected way to use my iPhone's Action button — and it's kind of blowing my mind.

One of the most iconic iPhone accessories is back — and it’s great
Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 15 Pro.

In the early days of the iPhone, one of the most popular accessories was the Mophie Juice Pack battery case. This was one of the first and original battery cases for the iPhone that would extend the battery life of your phone to help you get through the day. It was essential when traveling, as you’d likely go through your iPhone’s battery much faster and might not be near an outlet.

The Mophie Juice Pack became a staple for many people and spawned numerous copycats, but once Apple introduced MagSafe with the iPhone 12 line, it seemed like the need for battery cases dissipated. In fact, it has been a few years since Mophie last released a Juice Pack case for the iPhone. But the Mophie Juice Pack has finally returned, and it’s currently available for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

If you’ve slept through an important meeting or missed your alarm lately, it may not be entirely your fault if you’re an iPhone user. For weeks now, iPhone users have been reporting on social media that their devices are no longer ringing.

Today, The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern finally confirmed this. According to Stern, Apple has confirmed that it’s aware of the issue causing some alarms not to play a sound and is working on a fix.
iPhone alarm issues explained
The iPhone alarm problem seems to be tied to Apple’s Attention Aware features. For those unfamiliar, it’s a feature that lowers the volume sound of your alerts and alarms if you’re looking at your device and avoids dimming the screen, similar to how Samsung phones keep the screen on if they see you looking at your screen.
