Apple Debuts iPhone Pocket, a Limited Edition iPod Sock-Style Accessory

[melliflu]

And isn't every iPhone tied to an iCloud account and practically worthless when stolen?

Thieves usually strip stolen iPhones for parts or scam unsuspecting buyers. In the UK, 80% of stolen phones are iPhones. So this pricey “sock” basically works as an iPhone locator — and it’d take a truly twisted Android user to buy one.

Apple have completely lost the plot.

Newsflash… ALL KNITTING IS 3D… Apple loves to use marketing buzzwords. LOL

this is the beginning of the end for Apple.

you honestly think Steve would have signed up for this?

 

[CrapShack]

Yes, I honestly think Steve Jobs would have signed up for this. He liked nice things. He spent about $20,000 just on his collection of black Issey Miyake turtlenecks.

Genuinely thought this was a joke at first, especially with that price tag! They are taking the piss, as we say in the UK.

Will probably see knock-offs on Temu for £1 anyway!

 

[oldwatery]

Most stunning innovations from the company that can’t even build decent software anymore.

 

[joelmichaels]

Are they going to make one with fake pubic hair on it? Lol.

 

[SmugMaverick]

Embarrassing.

 

[jakey rolling]

My first thought when I heard of this thing and that Apple was charging some "ridiculous" price for it, I expected to see something in the neighbourhood of $70-$100. Even at $50 I would consider $20 to be actually paying for the thing and the other $30 to be paying for the Apple logo on the thing.

Then I came and saw the actual price. My word.

 

[mihighil]

When you look at the price at the piece of crap, suddenly those ram and ssd prices seem like a bargain. This one is for the fanboys! Enjoy your 230 dollar socks 🙂

 

[jakey rolling]

Also, another important thing to remember - the existence of this is not an attack on you, your identity or anything like that.

Right. Because it is the critics of a brand who are well-known for tying their identity to the brand..

It’s fashion
Fashion has always been expensive
If Gucci had released it, it wouldn’t be news
It would also be twice the price!

If my Hyundai was made by Ferrari it would also be expensive.

$300 dollar sock

iPhone Pocket.? Seriously lol the most expensive socks ever lol​

There are some designer cotton socks cost over US$600 a pair. Sure this is just one single sock for either $149.95 or $229.95.

 

[frownface]

Sad to see it's not backwards compatable with iphone 7's and older.

 

[NewOldStock]

We got to stop making fish food non-biodegradable.

 

[macinfojunkie]

Must have missed this amazing news when it was announced. Only picked up on jt when it made national news due to the amount of ridicule.

What kind of utter bell end would pay so much for this nonsense?

Makes the $500 wheels looks good value.

 

[ralph_sws]

hahaha

I, for one, am glad for our new sock wearing overlords at Apple thinking more about launching idiotic products at idiotic prices rather than focusing on such mundane things like.. fixing iOS26.

 

[Hank001]

People think this stuff is easy and mock. I bet you cant find a seam on these 'socks' for example.
But really they are for a minor group tbh and even though I appreciate the design and how they are made, I wont be getting one.

Indeed, Issey Miyake makes really beautiful clothes, paying attention to detail. Unfortunately he passed away, but the company still makes incredible clothing.

It's really strange how the posters react to this news. I mean, they say they like Apple products because of their attention to detail, making beautiful products. Yet this threat is filled with naysayers, filled with people who don't 'understand' the product. Some even dislike the price. It's quite mind boggling.
