Lol, I've ordered a couple just to see what they're like.

I’m not sure if those pictures are representing the actual product or they are just “borrowed”. AliExpress quality is usually questionable.

Apple could sell their products at 25% of current price, take the market by storm, significantly increase market share worldwide and make much more money. In the case of the Mac, Windows would be history in six months.

I kind of want to buy one just for sh*ts and giggles.

Amazon has these for under a $1 each. Search "socks"

I must be getting old. I don't understand why this product exists.

Because, for some silly reason, quite a lot of women's clothing is made with no pockets.

Which is why women often carry purses. So the real question is whether this sock makes for a good purse or not.

I'm pretty sure I used to wear a red version of that with my baseball uniform. Shoulda saved them and sold them for $150!

Oh, the humanity! Won’t SOMEONE please THINK of the CHILDREN!

Who the heck is Issey Miyake?

Just be sure to wash them first and not just pick them off the floor and sell them -- you'll get more for them that way.

Not fake, that’s what they’re actually worth.

I’d love to see someone try to make a genuine argument about how the cost of this plastic trash is comparable to the cost of AirPods.

Careful there! You're starting to undermine an entire industry around women's fashion accessories

I don't think I can own a single pair of pants that would comfortably hold a Pro Max, other my work/outdoor clothes that I wear around my land and woods.

Maybe it's because I wear well-fitting clothes, and don't shop in the Big Boy Husky-sized section of the store.

Sprayed on jeans 😂

The amount of people here without taste, without any sense of fashion, is quite staggering. Some don’t even know who this Japanese designer is, while they have been watching Steve on stage for years. Yes, with Levi 901 - the non-stylish brand.

What’s more baffling is that the all rap about Apple, their attention to detail, their style.

I must be getting old.

I think 3/4ths of the posters are Android users at this point.

TURTLENECK TOP

This turtleneck top is made from jersey material characterized by the good comfort of 100% cotton.

The black variant should look familiar.

This completely vindicates what I was saying in a prior thread lol.

A large part of that reason is that American companies manufacture in China and then sell in America at huge markups. Meanwhile the Chinese take the literally exact same product from the same production line and sell it directly. They wouldn't have it to copy if companies didn't give it to them in the first place. No reason this sock couldn't have been made in the US if they were going to sell it for over $200.

Except the pocket was manufactured in Japan.

My 17PM takes up the entire front pocket of any pants I wear, but it fits. I'm surprised more clothes don't make custom phone pockets. It's been a thing for so long.

The myth that it's exactly the same product is a marketing ploy by manufacturers to sell their cheap products. We saw this with fake AirPods and how people on TikTok boasted about that there is no difference to the original. A look inside, however, revealed that they were just cheap imitations. You also have to consider the development and design costs that Chinese manufacturers don't have to bear, since they simply copy and paste it.With clothing and accessories like this kind, it's easier to copy and the end user will not notice a big difference. Apple could probably sold it for 10 while the knock off could be sold for 2 because still quality differences. Still this doesn't justify the high price markups that well known fashion brands do. The Apple version is merely a collaboration with such a fashion brand and its not for tech enthusiasts. It's more for the Hermes etc. enthusiasts.

People should be more mad about is dropshipping and how it has made online shopping unusable (see Amazon they sell just crap). In this case its the same product, just with a middleman and an enormous markup.

A lot of this is true, and the end of the $800 mystery box exemption should help with that.

But in this case, I think a knockoff could get very close to the same quality for a tiny fraction of the price. There may have been some R&D in this one.

I don't think it's a terrible concept but to do it the way they did was just begging for people to make clones.

There's a reason why the meme exists that China is the worlds largest copy machine.

This most likely comes from the same factory and made with the same materials and made by the same people as the original. Sans the logo.

... because the thick and heavy iPhones no longer fit in your pocket.

Well - they fit in my pockets.

Maybe it's because I too am thick and heavy...

 

[Killa Aaron]

The iPhone Jock strap for $150 dollars, insane. Trillion dollar company just keeps trolling to sell the most unnecessary expensive and cheap to manufacture item to shill oh well what are you gonna do?

Oh my, how times have changed.

 

[Jackbequickly]

Are these knockoffs?
