The $8 Amazon Product That Saved My Feet at Coachella — Plus 11 Other Items to Bring

Apple iPhone 17 Pro ($1099)

Having a good phone at Coachella is essential. Between filming, taking photos, coordinating with friends, and inevitably losing service, you need something that can keep up. The camera quality alone makes it worth it, especially for night shots and video. The battery held up surprisingly well, even with heavy use all day, and I didn't even need to bring along an external battery. My pictures and videos were perfect, and my orange phone (my favorite color, mind you) was easy to find in my bag full of desert essentials.
