Beats’ new iPhone 16 cases work with the Camera Control button
The $49 cases are compatible with all four iPhone 16 models and feature a scratch-resistant coating and additional magnets to securely connect to MagSafe accessories.


The $49 hardshell polycarbonate cases feature “flexible sidewalls” to help absorb some of the impact when dropped and a microfiber lining to protect an iPhone’s finish. According to Beats, the outer surface of each case has been treated with a “glossy scratch-resistant coating,” a feature that potentially comes in response to Apple’s problematic — and now discontinued — microtwill FineWoven cases, which were prone to scratches.
Available to order today through Apple’s website in midnight black, summit stone, riptide blue, and sunset purple colorways, the new Beats cases use a “sapphire crystal coupled to a conductive layer” to translate finger presses and swipe gestures to the iPhone 16’s Camera Control button. They also include an additional ring of magnets for a more secure connection to MagSafe and Qi2 wireless chargers and accessories.
