Bailey Hikawa just partnered with Apple on a phone grip that could pass for a weird little sculpture on your desk. The Hikawa Phone Grip & Stand landed at the Apple Store this week, celebrating 40 years of Apple’s accessibility work. It’s one of those rare accessories where the design story actually matters as much as what it does.

MagSafe grips aren’t new, but most of them look and feel like afterthoughts. This one snaps onto any iPhone 12 or later with that satisfying magnetic click Apple’s known for, and comes off just as easily. If you’ve got limited hand strength or dexterity, fumbling with clips and cases gets old fast. Hikawa and Apple built this thing with input from people navigating those challenges every day.
Grip when you need it, stand when you don’t. Portrait mode handles FaceTime calls at lunch. Flip for landscape and follow recipes while you cook. The magnets let you swap orientation with zero fiddly tweaks or fragile kickstands that’ll break after the third cat video.
The chartreuse version jumps out in any bag. No more digging through purse purgatory. And if your eyesight isn’t perfect, that neon becomes a functional upgrade, not just a style flex. There’s also a recycled Crater shade for anyone who prefers the museum aesthetic over high-vis color.
Here’s where Apple’s legacy of accessibility shows up. This grip grew out of actual conversations with people dealing with limited mobility, not just a focus group for optics. It’s adaptive and ergonomic, made for users who find the usual clips genuinely frustrating. But it looks and feels like something anyone with hands would want to use.
Most adaptive gear screams “medical device.” Hikawa’s sculptural approach flips that script. This limited-edition collab solves real accessibility issues and looks fit for a design museum. No special product line for disabled users. No staged photos of models in wheelchairs. Just a grip that works smarter, whether you need its features or just want better design.
Adaptive gear usually looks like it got designed in a different building. Hikawa torched that playbook. That’s what forty years of accessibility work looks like when it actually ships.
$69.95 gets you limited-edition exclusivity at the Apple Store. Works with any MagSafe-compatible case, so you’re not stuck in Apple’s walled garden. If you’re shopping for accessibility, this is as design-forward as it gets. If you just want a grip easier to use than PopSocket clones, same product. That’s how universal design is supposed to work.
