Use the Force to protect your iPhone with Otterbox Star Wars cases

Otterbox wants to help protect your phone with the power of the Force, thanks to its latest series of Star Wars-themed iPhone cases: the Symmetry Series Star Wars Collection.

The cases come in a range of different designs, with a number of different Star Wars characters and graphics on them. For example, you could go for the nicely designed graphic of Rey and R2-D2 on Ahch-To, which features the Millennium Falcon in the background, or go for something a little more simple — a red case with the Star Wars logo on the back. Other designs include a graphic of Darth Vader, a stormtrooper, and the adorable BB-8 droid.

The cases themselves are available for the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus — sorry iPhone X users, you’ll have to stick with something else for now. The smaller cases for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 come in at $45, while the larger ones, built for the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus, cost $10 more at $55. That’s a solid chunk of change for a phone case — but the Star Wars branding and the good reputation of Otterbox may make it worth it for many people.

The Otterbox Symmetry Series has been around for some time now, and doesn’t just feature the new Star Wars cases. The series is built to offer a ton of drop protection while still remaining relatively true to your phone’s profile. This is an Otterbox — so don’t expect the most sleek cases out there — but at least you can rest assured that your phone is relatively protected. The already-available Otterbox Symmetry Series offers a pretty massive range of options, and it extends beyond iPhones to include the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy S8 Plus. In keeping with the Disney theme, Otterbox offers Mickey and Minnie Mouse cases, as well as plain cases for those that want something a little more subtle.

You can get the new Otterbox Symmetry Series Star Wars cases for yourself from the Otterbox website. As mentioned, they’ll cost $45 to $55, depending on your iPhone model.

As the year winds down, it's the perfect time to take a look back and reflect. After all, we did get some pretty exciting smartphones in 2024, and Apple went above and beyond with the iPhone 16 series.

But as we inch closer to the new year, there are some things I hope that Apple will take into consideration with the iPhone. Here’s what I am hoping to see with the iPhone in 2025.

Apple is killing its never-released iPhone subscription service

Over two years ago, it was reported that Apple was preparing to launch a hardware subscription service for the iPhone — to give people a way to pay a monthly fee to get a new iPhone every year. It wasn't a bad idea, especially with more and more companies moving toward subscription models.

However, it looks like that program is no longer happening. Fast-forward to December 2024, and Bloomberg is now reporting that the never-released iPhone subscription has been scrapped for good.

The iPhone 17 Pro may not have a redesigned camera after all
A close-up of the cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro.

If you've followed any of the previous iPhone 17 leaks, then you likely read that the camera is supposedly getting a redesign that makes it look more like a Pixel than an iPhone. The phone is still almost a year away, so many rumors are just hearsay with no confirmation at this point. Now, a new leak suggests that while the iPhone 17 Pro will see a change, the camera module will remain triangular.

According to tipster Setsuna Digital on Weibo, the camera won't undergo as drastic a redesign as previously believed. "My sources told me that the back has indeed changed, but the triple-camera layout is still a triangle, not the horizontal strip that is currently circulating online." The majority of leaks so far have been from different companies within the supply chain that manufacture different parts for the iPhone 17 Pro.
