Beats Launches iPhone 16 Cases in New Sunrise Pink and Twilight Blue Colors

[MacRumors]

Back in September as part of the iPhone 16 launch, Apple's Beats brand surprisingly launched cases for new iPhone lineup, available in four colors and featuring MagSafe and Camera Control support.

Beats today is expanding its case lineup with two additional colors, Sunrise Pink and Twilight Blue, with the new cases including the iconic Beats logo in the center of the rear rather than the MagSafe alignment guides seen on the original versions.

The cases are made of a polycarbonate back with flexible sidewalls for shock absorption, and they feature a glossy scratch-resistant exterior coating and a soft microfiber interior. Camera Control support is enabled via a sapphire crystal button coupled to a conductive layer to transmit finger movements to the button on the phone.

The two new colors of cases are available for all four models in the iPhone 16 lineup, and are priced at $49. They're available through Apple's online store starting today, and will be at Apple Store retail locations starting tomorrow.

Not at those prices. I got decent Spigen cases for my iPhone 16 Plus for under US$20 online.

Priced at $49, that's a lot.

I like the blue and might be interested if it didn't have the silly logo on the back. I prefer hard-shell cases.

...either way, though, that's not a $49 case.

No Kim K collab in flesh tones or gray shades? PASS /s

It's hilarious that Apple doesn't make plastic cases anymore because they're not carbon neutral or whatever, but they have no problem making the plastic cases and selling them as Beats cases.

They still sell the plastic clear case. The Beats cases feel the same and are made from the same material as the clear case, just colored and with a Beats logo on it.

My perception of the 'Beats' brand leads me to complete avoidance!

 

[Bones402]

In 2024 there is no reason to spend $50 on a case. These also look slippery...

bApple iPhone case.

 

[Armada2]

I guess they ran out of ideas then.. designed by an intern..

 

[minhrom]

cheap looking case with overpriced tag

 

[sebastianatol]

But why?

 

[tomms11]

Personally, I liked my first Beats case in the black color. I am looking forward to getting the Twilight Blue. It doesn't feel much different from the Apple clear case in terms of slipperiness to me. To each their own...

The prices Apple asks for these plastic cases is obscene.

These cases look very low end, they don't look premium at all. I don't like the b on the back either.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

These are horrible cases. Bought the beats one when they first launched. It was so slippery I had to 86 it. Would never buy again. Stay away.

I will make an exception for a good leather one, not plastic.

 

[McWetty]

A fool and their money…

 

[dustin_]

who are these for?

 

[ApplesAreSweet&Sour]

I guess plastic is so cheap to make that this is made specifically for those two people out there that want their iPhone 16 to match their beats headphones?

Apple needs to sell just a handful of these at $49 case and they've covered both their manufacturing costs and earned a bit too.

 

[No5tromo]

Why on Earth would you wanna pay $49 to make your iPhone look cheaper?

 

[Jeeve Stubbs]

Wearing the Beats logo basically tells other people that you can't afford AirPods.

The comment section is full of.....people. Such is life.

Pardon us for having an opinion on the product. Would you like to proceed with your next laughing emoji instead of actually discussing the differences you seem to have in the way we view it?
