External Camera Lenses
You can make already amazing back camera of iPhone X even more powerful with the help of external lenses.

If you have a high budget, then we recommend checking out premium lenses from Moment that cost between $79 up to $99. You will need a $29 case that you can attach the case to. There are also budget options available like the clip-on ones from Arory that cost $25 that are linked below.
Listen to songs while charging with audio/charging splitter
With newer iPhones lacking a headphone jack there’s no way for users to hear to music with their wired headphones while their device is charging. This can change if you buy a small adapter that not only adds a headphone jack to your device but also let you put the charging cable in it at the same time. This is much better than the 3.5mm audio adapter that comes inside iPhone’s box, which only lets you plug in a wired 3.5mm headphone into your iPhone. You can buy an iPhone audio adapter and charging splitter ranging from $6-$15. The one linked below is from MeetLady and costs $11.
Memory card reader
A memory card reader? For iPhone? As strange as it sounds, it is indeed possible to use a card reader to read a microSD card and import photos to your iOS device from it. In fact Apple also sells a SD card reader that you can buy for $28.99 from Amazon. As soon as you plug in the card reader into your iPhone or iPad the Photos app opens and lets you import photos from it.
You can import photos in jpeg and raw while videos can be imported with different SD and HD video formats. There are third-party options too that offer more features at a lower price. iPhone Card Reader from AQQEF has support for SD card, microSD card, USB and microUSB inputs.
