What the Apple accessory with Bailey Hikawa looks like<\/p>\n

The new accessory from the tech<\/a> giant and Bailey Hikawa is certainly striking to look at<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It looks like quite a large, lumpy bulge on the back of the phone, but it\u2019s not just designed like this for aesthetics.<\/p>\n

The accessory has been designed to offer creative means of hand support, improve grip, and reduce fatigue.<\/p>\n

It has additional accessibility considerations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"To<\/a>Apple<\/a><\/p>\n

This is aimed at those with different degrees of muscle strength and motor skills.<\/p>\n

It is made of silicone and is usable either vertically or horizontally, and easily snaps on and off the iPhone.<\/p>\n

The new accessory is all about improving accessibility for those with a wide range of disabilities.<\/p>\n

It also aims to look funky in the process.<\/p>\n

The company is celebrating 40 years of accessibility<\/p>\n

Its launch comes as Apple celebrates 40 years of accessibility initiatives.<\/p>\n

The company has also been releasing new accessibility features and upgrades<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has done this alongside Hikawa\u2019s phone accessory.<\/p>\n

Some of these include new App Store labels and Braille Access.<\/p>\n

On top of that, we have also seen upgrades to other features.<\/p>\n

This includes Personal Voice, Live Listen, Head Tracking, and Live Captions.<\/p>\n

The Hikawa Phone Grip and stand come in two colors.<\/p>\n

\"To<\/a>Apple<\/a><\/p>\n

Apple is currently offering it in the Crater color, as well as Chartreuse.<\/p>\n

However, this game-changer of an accessory<\/a> has a relatively high retail price of $69.95.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, both colors were sold out on the official Apple store in the United States.<\/p>\n

So if you don\u2019t want to get your hands on one, you may have to wait a while.<\/p>\n
