Leica LUX Grip brings traditional camera controls to iPhone for $329

Leica’s bringing its camera magic to the iPhone with the LUX Grip – a snap-on accessory that ditches screen smudging for tactile controls. Designed to echo the feel of premium rangefinders, it lets you click and twist your way to better shots without spending a fortune on the real deal.

The LUX Grip gives your iPhone a proper camera-like feel, complete with a two-stage shutter button and customisable controls. It snaps onto any MagSafe-equipped iPhone from the iPhone 12 onwards magnetically and works effortlessly in both portrait and landscape modes.

It is crafted from aluminium and weighs 120g. A built-in dial lets you tweak camera settings on the fly, while programmable function buttons integrate with Leica’s dedicated iPhone app. It unlocks a suite of extras, including bokeh effects that mimic the dreamy depth of high-end Leica glass and a selection of preset photo styles.

Leica promises the LUX Grip features enough juice to snap up to 1,000 shots before needing a top-up and it recharges via USB-C in two hours.

Leica LUX Grip is priced at $329 (approx. ₹ 28,816).
