Alongside the announcement of the new MacBook Air, Apple today refreshed the color options available with many of its iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands.

I normally just use the Midnight Sport Band because it's comfy and goes well with everything, but the Soft Mint Sport Loop and the Hermès Bleu Céleste/Écru Toile H Single Tour both look so good. 😩
 
I think Apple has seen the iffy quality of the Fine Woven case and may not offer it for the iPhone 16/16 Pro models. Which is completely fine with me because the vast majority of users will buy a quality plastic case instead.
 
Have the iPhone silicon cases been "updated" so that they don't peel off after less than a year of use?

I paid a good 59€ for an original Silicon Case with MagSafe (midnight) at the Apple Store when I got my iPhone 13 Pro on launch, 2.5 years ago, and it started peeling off before the next iphone launched. As of today it's in terrible condition, with silicon tearing off on all corners and sides.

Worst case I've ever purchased. 59€. Insane.

Same. I bought an original blue silicon case for my iPhone 12 Pro Max and the edges peeled off in less than a year, revealing the cheap plastic underneath. Never dropped the phone.

Ironically the fake ones for 2 bucks are still looking fine today.

Same with the leather watch band. It got completely destroyed by Miami humidity.

Swore myself to never buy original Apple accessories ever again. It worth the money
 
The Ocean Blue would pair spectacularly with the Blue iPhone 15, if they had made it into a Silicone case.

Just a side note: your iPhone silicone cases also have warranty
 
Kind of disappointed that this seems like a substitute for offering a new color for the iPhone 15. Yes, it's a marketing gimmick, but I've come to like the new colors they release. And that also means no Product Red iPhone for the first time in a long time (assuming we aren't getting more announcements later this month--I do think the new iPads may have an event of some kind, even if the M3 MacBook Airs didn't need one).
