A new iPhone accessory designed by artist Bailey Hikawa sold out quickly on Apple’s online store, only days after its release. The limited-edition grip, created to support users with disabilities, launched as part of Apple’s recognition of 40 years of accessibility design. Two days later, it was no longer available through Apple’s website.
The product, called the Hikawa Phone Grip & Stand, attaches to the back of an iPhone using MagSafe. Its ridged shape includes a center opening to help users maintain a secure hold. It also doubles as a stand in both portrait and landscape modes, making it useful for everyday tasks like video calls and hands-free viewing.
Still Available Through the Designer
Although Apple’s online store lists both available colors as sold out, the accessory has not disappeared completely. Hikawa continues to offer the Chartreuse version through her own storefront. She also has additional color options on preorder, including Cobalt and Blurple, which are priced at $69.95.
Apple carried two finishes at launch: Chartreuse and Crater. The Crater version was exclusive to Apple and marked as limited edition. While it’s unclear how many units were available, the quick sell-out suggests strong demand.
Growing Interest in Accessible Tech
The rapid response highlights how consumers continue to look for products that blend accessibility with good design. The grip is intended to support people who experience limited dexterity, reduced muscle strength, or challenges with hand control. By offering a more secure way to hold the device, the accessory aims to reduce strain and support long-term comfort.
Its early success may encourage Apple to restock the item or expand its range of specialized accessories. For now, customers hoping to buy one will need to purchase directly from the designer.
As assistive tech becomes more visible, products like the Hikawa grip are proving that accessibility can drive innovation—and sell out just as fast as mainstream accessories.
