A New Way to Carry Your Phone: The iPhone Pocket
Apple has a new accessory that might make you raise an eyebrow. It's called the iPhone Pocket, and it's a stretchy, knitted pouch designed to hold your iPhone and other small items. Think of it as a modern take on the old iPod socks, but for your phone.
A Collaboration with Issey Miyake
This accessory is a collaboration between Apple and fashion brand Issey Miyake. It's made from a single piece of fabric and has a distinctive pleat pattern. The pouch is see-through when you stretch it, so you can peek at your phone's lockscreen.
Two Sizes Available
The iPhone Pocket comes in two sizes:
- Short: Like a wristlet
- Long: Can be worn across your body
Color Options
The short version comes in eight colors, while the long one is available in three. You can wear it in different ways, like a crossbody bag or tied to your regular bag.
A Unique Fashion Statement
The iPhone Pocket is a unique fashion statement, but it might not be for everyone.
Fashion writer Tiffany Lo thinks this accessory could appeal to younger generations. She points out that the design allows users to wear it as a crossbody, which might be popular among Gen Z.
Apple has shown interest in this demographic with other products, like the crossbody straps they released earlier this year.
Practicality in Question
But is the iPhone Pocket practical? It can hold more than just your phone. You can also fit in AirPods, lip balm, or other small items. However, some might find it a bit odd to wear a knitted pouch around their body. It's definitely a bold fashion choice.
