It's never a bad idea to add more storage to your computer, and the speed of this external 1TB solid state drive means you can use it to keep just about any data and have it accessible to apps.

You can store photos and videos on it, for example, and transfer speeds are high enough for you to edit it on your computer without moving it over to internal storage.

It's also useful for backing up data, transferring it to another device, or as a spot to keep all that 4K footage we can now shoot with our phones, freeing up on-device storage for other things.

The Kingston XS1000 external solid state drive (SSD) costs £142.20 from kingston.com

You'll need a compatible case for this one - all the Apple cases for the iPhone 17 range, including the Air, will work - but the crossbody strap is a useful addition to your iPhone set up.
