A possible iPhone 17 price increase is giving many Apple users a reason to pause before upgrading — and sometimes the smartest move isn't a new iPhone at all. If your current device still does everything you need, a considered iPhone case and screen protector can keep it looking and feeling great for another year or more.
But upgrading can make sense too. If your battery is struggling or you've been waiting for what's next, we're here for that journey as well. At amble & strut, we curate the accessories that make your Apple setup work beautifully — whether you're protecting the iPhone already in your pocket or preparing a new one for the road ahead.
The iPhone 17 may see a price increase as early as mid-August 2026, according to recent supply-chain reporting. Rising component costs, memory shortages and Apple's broader autumn lineup are all fuelling speculation around future iPhone pricing — but nothing is confirmed by Apple, so treat the reported iPhone 17 price increase as a possibility, not a certainty.
For anyone already holding a recent iPhone, it's a useful moment to weigh the value of keeping what you have. If the latest model gets more expensive, protecting your current device properly is a simple way to extend its everyday life.
You don't necessarily need to upgrade if your current iPhone still holds a charge, runs the latest iOS and suits the way you use it — a two- or three-year-old iPhone can still be an excellent everyday device when it's well cared for. That's where a quality iPhone case and iPhone screen protector make the difference, protecting the device you own while keeping it at its best for longer.
Of course, there are good reasons to upgrade too. A tired battery, a damaged device or a genuinely useful new feature can make a new iPhone worthwhile — and when that day comes, amble & strut is here to help you start again with the right accessories, from a refined case and screen protection to MagSafe essentials.
A case and screen protector provide two simple layers of protection against some of the everyday damage an iPhone can experience: scratches, impacts, cracked screens and worn edges. They also help your iPhone stay in better condition for longer. That's useful if you plan to keep it for another year, but it can matter just as much when you eventually trade it in or pass it on.
A premium iPhone case can protect the frame and back of your device, while a quality iPhone screen protector helps keep its most visible surface looking pristine.
The best iPhone cases balance protection, materials and design. At amble & strut, we select brands that bring something considered to your everyday setup — whether that's tactile leather, ultra-light aramid fibre or more rugged protection.
Here are a few of the collections we've selected.
Nomad iPhone cases are made for those who appreciate materials that develop character with use.
From leather finishes to more rugged designs, Nomad combines everyday protection with a refined aesthetic that feels at home alongside your Apple devices.
It's protection designed to stay with you, rather than something you simply put on and forget about.
Pitaka iPhone cases are a natural fit if you prefer your protection light, slim and barely there.
Crafted from aramid fibre, Pitaka cases offer a distinctive tactile finish while adding minimal bulk to your iPhone.
With MagSafe compatibility across selected models, they're designed to keep your everyday setup flowing.
Mujjo iPhone cases bring a softer, more tactile approach to protection.
Their understated leather designs complement the minimalist character of iPhone while helping protect against the marks and scratches of everyday use.
For those who prefer their tech accessories to feel as considered as the device itself, Mujjo is a natural match.
BodyGuardz iPhone cases are built for users who want a little more confidence when life gets busy.
Their protective designs are suited to commutes, travel and everyday moments where your iPhone needs to keep up.
It's a practical choice when protection comes first, without leaving design behind.
An iPhone screen protector is one of the simplest ways to add another layer of protection to your device. Your display is something you interact with constantly, making scratches, chips and cracks particularly noticeable. A quality screen protector helps absorb everyday wear while maintaining the clarity and responsiveness you expect from your iPhone.
Our iPhone screen protectors and dedicated BodyGuardz iPhone screen protectors are selected to complement the Apple experience without getting in the way of it. Pair one with a well-designed case and you have a simple, considered foundation for keeping your iPhone protected for longer.
Already made the move to an iPhone 17? Then it's time to make the most of it.
New iPhones deserve thoughtful protection from the moment they leave the box. A well-fitting case and quality screen protector can help keep your new device looking as good as the day you first picked it up.
Explore our iPhone 17 collection for cases and screen protection selected specifically for the latest generation. And if you've chosen one of Apple's slimmer new models, you can find the right fit in our iPhone Air cases collection.
A possible iPhone 17 price increase is a good reason to pause and consider what your current device still has to offer. If it works beautifully, protect it and keep going. If it's time for something new, make the upgrade yours from day one.
That's where amble & strut comes in.
We're your hub for thoughtfully selected Apple accessories, from iPhone cases and screen protectors to MagSafe essentials and the details that make your setup feel like your own.
Whatever your next move, we're with you. Selected for your everyday journey.
