Apple Unveils Crossbody Strap and TechWoven Case for iPhone 17 Pro

[MacRumors]

Apple has introduced several new accessories for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, including the TechWoven Case, Clear Case with MagSafe, Silicone Case with MagSafe, and Crossbody Strap.

The all-new TechWoven Case is the spiritual successor to Apple's ill-received, discontinued FineWoven Case for the iPhone 15 Pro models. TechWoven is a "technical woven fabric" with "multiple colored yarns," and Apple has suggested that this material will be more resistant to scratches and stains than FineWoven was.

TechWoven Case color options include Black, Blue, Purple, Sienna, and Green. In the U.S., the cases cost $59 each, for either the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max.

The redesigned Clear Case with MagSafe is made of clear polycarbonate, and it has a "scratch-resistant coating" on the interior and exterior.

The latest Silicone Case with MagSafe is available in six colors: Orange, Terra Cotta, Neon Yellow, Purple Fog, Midnight, and Black.

Apple's new Crossbody Strap can be paired with the TechWoven Case and new Silicone Case, allowing users to wear their iPhone. It is essentially a magnetic lanyard, with stainless steel sliding mechanisms for adjusting the length.

In the U.S., the Crossbody Strap costs $59, and it is available in 10 colors: Black, Light Gray, Blue, Light Blue, Purple, Sienna, Green, Neon Yellow, Tan, and Orange.

The strap is the dumbest accessory in human history.

A product that exists for ages, just now officially made by Apple. Popular in Asia and might be popular with teenage girls that still think the latest iphone shows some kind of social status, haha.

Wiped my eyes with the Apple cleaning cloth, then spotted a leech for $59—honestly, the leech feels like.... well... you know... we think you are going to love it

Hope it lasts longer than, well, the FineWoven product line.

I have a 13, could be time to upgrade! (or not)

 

[Compote]

This has "Please mug me" all over it.

Not touching these after FineWoven.

The strap is £59.

That's just the strap, not the case it attaches to.

Just let that sink in.

 

[Boardiesboi]

The clear case for the 17 Pro is an abomination and the leaks were 100% spot on

 

[nattK]

$59 for the cross body strap!!!! What are they smoking in Cupertino??

 

[frozen220]

Surely they’re releasing ones for the iPhone 15 line too right? Why wouldn’t they?

Apple today announced the iPhone 17 Pro, and alongside the new generation of smartphones, there's a new collection of accessories. This includes a new "TechWoven" Case, Clear Cases, and Silicone Cases.

Similar to the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro will have matching cross-body strap accessories that attach to the new case options.

The strap is the dumbest accessory in human history.

It’s to help prevent all the grab thefts of iPhones.

69 Euro for the strap. On top of that you need a 59 Euro case. And if you want to carry some cards and cash with you the wallet is an additional 69 Euro. Never change, Apple.

$59 for the cross body strap!!!! What are they smoking in Cupertino??

Dollar bills obviously.

Not impressed with any of the Apple cases. Don't like the TechWoven. Clear case is not clear. Will go for cases from third party case manufacturers.

 

[MistrSynistr]

The strap is the dumbest accessory in human history.

It's almost like Apple is required to do a product like this every few years. Like it's some sort of bizarre marketing gimmick to get people talking.

Good news is these straps will be on amazon for $4.99 made of the same stuff in a few weeks.

Buying the TechWoven just to check it out and have something on Day 1 in case anything 3rd party takes too long.

I saw the new Spigen cases for the iPhone 17 models. Much better than the official Apple cases.
