iPhone Pocket is Now Completely Sold Out Worldwide

[quietstormSD]

Knock offs are already hitting the market. For something that costs $2 to make, they are charging an insane price. I hope the knockoffs tank them. I get having a healthy profit margin, but gauging consumers for a fake fad, I'm against.

As usual, this forum is completely out of touch with global retail markets. There’s a reason it launched only in selected regions. You could triple the price and it would still sell out. Like it or not, there’s a huge market for status.

They could sell 💩 with an apple logo on it and people would sell it out.

BUT HOW? NOBODY IN THE MACRUMORS FORUM LIKED IT!! 😮

If MacRumors forunites like it no one buys it (iPhone mini, air), if they dislike it (this thing) then it will sell out. Possibly why android is so popular j/k

You guys, I’ll cut a hole in my tube sock and mail it to you for the low price of $49.99. DM me today and I’ll include free shipping. While supplies last.

Sad thing is, if you stick an Apple logo on it, they’ll still buy it.

Who buys these things

Lots of people. I don’t like them personally, but believe it or not there is a world of tastes and styles that are different than America. Tough concept for many.

 

[ghostface147]

Well yeah, they made 25 of them.

 

[Murdock12]

Fashion is so confusing.

 

[carrrrrlos]

Hard core fanboys and resellers all over this.

 

[r_mack]

I was surprised that Apple charged this much for such a frivolous product and was incredulous that it sold out within days in the US. What are we becoming as a society?!

 

[citysnaps]

Internet commentary has an insatiable appetite for being wrong.

Spot-on. I remember the "Who asked for a thousand songs in your pocket?" reflexive retort from around 25 years ago.

Nothing has changed since then.

 

[bushman4]

They sold out because they only made 10 of each as a test worldwide

 

[upthetoffees]

Errr, no?

 

[jjudson]

There are people out there who understand that Apple fans will buy anything for their devices.

Anything.

Just...

Anything...

I could easily use paracord to weave my own, if I really cared about any of this.

 

[AngstyKylo]

Who buys these things

I imagine the same people who buy multiple Apple products, Labubus, Stanley Mugs, Air Jordans etc. whilst still renting accomodation.

 

[burgman]

Who buys these things

Apparently people who want them. Narcissistic people never understand how anyone could disagree with their buying opinions.

Who buys these things

Dunno either - must be Gen Z lemmings.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

I would allow apple to pay me $250 to hold one in my hand for 35 seconds and then destroy it.

 

[burgman]

I'm starting to suspect that not all users here are real young ultra-rich eccentric fashionistas.

They shouldn't be jealous while sitting in a fast-food drive thru

In many parts of America these days status is measured by size of gun safes and Cosplay gun jewelry, I mean accessories 🤣

Who buys these things

Disposable income is a thing lol.

 

[tridley68]

Wait a minute. Pricing started at $149? What are these made out of, Merino? Genuine, cruelty-free unicorn hair?

Old dyed tube socks

 

[darthbane2k]

I would pay $10 at most for this.

Here you go..
