iPhone 15 'FineWoven' Cases May Match New Magnetic Apple Watch Band and Come in 10 Color Options

[MacRumors]

Apple's upcoming "FineWoven" cases for the iPhone 15 lineup, designed to be a replacement for its leather cases, will match a new Apple Watch band and be available in ten different color options, according to the device collector and leaker known as "Kosutami."

In a recent tweet, Kosutami explained that the new line of cases will be available in Black, Mulberry, Taupe, Evergreen, Pacific Blue, Wisteria, Antique White, Butter Yellow, Orange, and Pink color options. As illustrated by several of the alleged pictures of the new cases that have recently circulated online, Kosutami added that the cases have rubber-wrapped edges that are a little darker than the color of the rear "woven" part of the case. The leaker believes that "FineWoven" is Apple's officially chosen name for the new material.

Kosutami previously claimed that Apple is planning to release a new woven fabric band with a magnetic buckle alongside the Apple Watch Series 9. Now, the leaker has clarified that the band is set to be made out of the same material as the new line of premium iPhone cases. The magnetic band will apparently retail for $99, the same price tag as the Braided Solo Loop, and could be similar to the Modern Buckle in terms of design.

Earlier this month, rumors suggested that Apple plans to eliminate leather cases for the iPhone 15 lineup, and subsequent information pointed toward the possibility of a leather alternative with a woven fabric look, with some reports pointing to the name "FineWoven."

Images of iPhone cases with the "FineWoven" name have been shared online in recent weeks, but the pictured accessories are almost certainly Chinese clones. As such, they are likely based on legitimate information about what Apple is expected to release, but could deviate from the final product in unexpected ways.

Apple will host a special event on Tuesday, September 12 with the tagline "Wonderlust." It is expected to see the official unveiling of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 9, second-generation Apple Watch Ultra, and a range of new accessories such as a USB-C AirPods Pro MagSafe charging case, "FineWoven" iPhone cases, and a new Apple Watch band.

The look beautiful! Especially the Mulberry, Evergreen and Pacific Blue colors.

I just hope they are durable. The sides seem to be made of a rubbery material? Like the silicone cases? So in that case, I really hope they are more durable than those.

I have never purchased an Apple iPhone case as they have always been super expensive and not that great compared to 3rd party cases. I will see what the reviews say about this one. I do want to try an Apple iPhone case once even though I know it will be overpriced.

Made in China for less than $1 each. Selling for $99 and no worries as it’s “finely woven!”

Colors are gorgeous, but those edges…

I mean, you can even see the parting line from the mold…

"FineWoven" reminds me of

It feels extremely inelegant as an Apple product name

 

[zach-coleman]

Still no true purple watch band since that single one years ago…

Colors are gorgeous, but those edges…

Real quick - Those edges are what gives the case raisivity thus making it Slamboy Certified™️.

Anyway, I was always a big fan of Google’s fabric cases for the late model Pixel devices. However they also need to be seen in person. From this image the cases almost look like Nubuck which, while I appreciate on hiking boots I wouldn’t be a fan of here.

Hopefully the press *ahem* can get some hands on and give some accurate impressions prior to preorders going live.

Edit: Bruh…are those plastic rails on the side? If so, ain’t no way. The benefit of leather is how it snuggly wraps around the case with a few weeks use. Might go with Bullstrap this season.

Wow. That weave. It's... it's sooo fine!

 

[GuruZac]

Pacific Blue!? I missed out on the Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pros and if this rumored blue 15 Pro series comes back in Pacific Blue, that’d be amazing.

I always do the Apple clear case.
My most used watch band is the Apple Sport in black.
I’m so boring I’m yawning as I type this. 🥱

They are actually woven by nano-spiders that were built at Area 51 and raised in rural Italy.

Worst comment ever. 😂

Pretty sure Apple will make this FineWoven case as overpriced.

Hopefully, this FineWoven material doesn’t age too fast.

 

[A7ibaba]

You must understand that Apple doesn't have some miraculous material from Mars to make iPhony cases. They all made by 3rd partners in great socialist republic of China for 1 dollar and 99 cents. All the rest is Apple tax for f00ls

 

[Lifeisabeach]

Pretty sure Apple will make this FoneWoven case as overpriced.

Hopefully, this FineWoven material doesn’t age too fast.

It would be interesting to see this phone case literally fall apart as it unravels.

 

[xxray]

That orange is such a perfect fall orange. Evergreen and Mulberry look really rich too. Wish Wisteria was a bit more saturated, like the iPhone 12 purple.

I say this like I’m going to actually buy any of these. I just can’t rationalize spending $50+ on a case when I can find nearly identical ones on Amazon for half the price or less. Though maybe the “FineWoven” material will make it hard to find a similar product.

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

Orange looks lush

 

[klasma]

Apple should make cases where you can attach a strap. That’s my only use case (haha) for cases. Well, I’d buy the sub-$30 third party ones anyway.

 

[bluegt]

I wonder if it’s the same material as my roller window blinds… “PolyWeave” ie fancy plastic 😄

 

[Lifeisabeach]

It's as if Apple took a look at this case and said "Hmmm. That weave. It's coarse. Much too coarse. We can do better."

 

[iBreatheApple]

Nah. They aren’t getting my money for cases anymore. The current leather cases are absolute trash especially when considering the cost. Perhaps once there is demonstrated durability and longevity I’ll bite.

Kiton? The case will cost more than the phone.
