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

[cicalinarrot]

Bonus feature: it lets thieves spot iPhones from a mile away — so they can snatch them with flair and confidence.

Some people comfortably walk around with bags that cost more than iPhones, so I'll have to call sour grapes on this.

wait, I've seen it before…

Exactly where my brain went as well, in about ten seconds.

 

[bluecoast]

Wow, Apple are now making it even easier for thieves to grab your iPhone than they are with the cross over body strap.

I love Issey Miyake and I love this concept…but, that price 😣

You must be confused, I think you mean ISSEY MIYAKE, right?

For the price of an Apple Watch SE 3 or AirPod pros… get your loved one a sock for their phone…..

Words can not express how angry I would be to get this…..

I'd *love* to get one!

(Within the return window.)

Tim needs to go.

 

[seggy]

wait, I've seen it before…

I'm 100% sure someone will try it and almost amputate their pp in the process

 

[Moleyman69]

Bwahahahahaha.... what a stupid idea! But Apple fanbois will snap it up, I'm sure 😂🤣🤣😂

 

[RedWeasel]

Ok, I guess it's official. I'm getting too old.

not in Germany. what the..?!

Se colorful socks do not conform to DIN and are forbidden!

 

[bobtamboo]

we'll see knock offs at 1/10 the price by next week

3D - knitted? I guess hat sounds better than churned out by an automated knitting machine.

Little pockets on my shoulder
Little pockets made of ticky-tacky
Little pockets on my shoulder
Little pockets all the same
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same

(With apologize to the late, great Pete Seeger)

Oh dear god its a woollen Mankini for an iPhone, Borat would be so proud. You may has well have large neon sign that says 'mug me' over your head and its not even water proof, its just a sock!

sure, but if somebody steals your poo-colored LV-bag, you should be glad it's gone

 

[UliBaer]

Finally! THE must have gadget to show everyone you got more money than brains...

 

[FrozenShivers]

Oh dear god its a woollen Mankini for an iPhone, Borat would be proud.

Not a cheap one at that!

 

[stocklen]

wait, I've seen it before…

I was about to say the same!

Definite Mankini vibes going on there.

 

[SnowPenguin]

Ooh, an iPod sock! I guess it's called iPhone sock now.

 

[Boeingfan]

That eye watering price is definitely going to drive people to the knock offs that will appear on temu in a week.

 

[SusieS]

wait, I've seen it before…

Very nice! Great success!

This makes me think, would this accessory count as flair for the restaurant in Office Space? I think I could pull off wearing about four of these at one time. The tips would be incredible.

 

[roklanhavok]

Yeah, no. I have way too many other foolish things I’d rather waste my money on than a stretched-out sac.

I feel like I already have a stretched-out sac and I didn't pay a thing for it!

 

[EdisEdward]

Apple just announced that the recession is over. People buying these means the bull market is back baby

 

[Spec360]

The return of the iPod Socks. 😛

It’s from the borat movie lol

And knitting, by hand or machine, is a popular hobby, so some lucky folks can expect a handmade holiday gift this year.

I opened the article while thinking to myself "There is no way Tim Apple thinks I'm going to pay $70 for an iPhone sock" — and I was right!
