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

[Tiger_Stud]

This firm becomes more and more a joke!

That was in 2006. Nothing has changed around here in 20 years!

Whilst I personally wouldn't buy a $150 tote bag just to carry my iPhone in, I still think its great that Apple still has some whimsy left in the company and still commissions these silly things!

Hows that finewoven boot taste like?

$149 WOW this is insanity.

I thought they were tripping charging $59 for the strap and now this. But over in the UK this is big, so I understand where they are going with the market and price tag. Just not for me or most of us here in the states as so it seems. That "Limited Edition " Staple does not always work. Only time will tell....

 

[Apple_Robert]

Absurd price. Someone else can brag they have a sock.

 

[definitive]

is it compatible with the apple cloth? if yes, then i'm getting the borat neon.

Apple can't fix their crappy iOS but let's make a freaking sock!

 

[Octavius8]

$200usd!!!!!?????
surreal!!!
Lets see the copies next week from $1.

Living in the ivory tower at Apple park has infected the brains of Apple execs. They must spend most of their days telling each other how great they are. That's the only explanation I can imagine for how something like this comes to market.

They dont get this crazy in the Upside Down

iPod socks were at least only $29 ($49 in 2025 value).

For something 3D printed, these are quite an exceptional rip off.

I didn’t see this coming….interesting….🫥

I'm surprised they didn't come out with the iStocking for Christmas at the low price of $299!

How could the article forget to mention that the famous Steve Jobs turtleneck was also designed by Issey Myake ?
In fact, it’s surprising that a Apple/Miyake collaboration didn’t happen earlier.

Errr it DOES say he designed the turtle neck…

 

[Jackbequickly]

Maybe a GenZ thing but not for me! 🙄

 

[GlassFingers]

I mean it looks kinda cool. Kinda fun. BUT THE PRICE TAG? Are you kitten me??? It seems a little nefarious to charge so much for a piece of fabric. I know they spent time designing it, etc... but we are not talking about an insanely complicated CPU here! This is fabric!! Serenity now! (It's cases like this where knock-off versions make absolute sense -- as the originators is absolutely price-gouging people.)

 

[Chazak]

Some people will buy anything especially if someone else convinces them it is cool.

 

[maxfromdenmark]

wait, I've seen it before…

that was exactly what I thought instantly.

I saw the prices and immediately had to check my brain to confirm it’s not April 1st. For a moment, April 1st was so strong in my mind that I couldn’t access the word for the month “November.” I cannot believe this is real. First the product, then the cost. Wow.

 

[Complex757]

Why would you buy this and not a shoulder/sling bag/purse considering the cost and you can carry more items?

Yes, this is along the lines of that Leica iPhone camera "grip" that doesn't add any lenses and is $400.
(IIRC, it started at $329 and has risen!)

wait, I've seen it before…

Yes. I was about to post this image. These are the vibes. Haha

 

[beanbaguk]

You'd look like a total tool using this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[Astuces iOS]

Oops I throw it in the washing machine and forgot that my iPhone was inside !

After investing millions of dollars in the 3D knitting factory for Vision Pro, now what should we do about it? There we go.

Um...
