iPhone Pocket Now Available to Order, But Already Selling Out

Nobody seems to care that people can pay $549 or $1099 for an Hermes Apple Watch Ultra band, so why so much fuss about a limited edition fashion sock?

There is a sucker born every minute...every second nowadays, really.
People will truly buy anything if marketed the right way, and Apple has an S tier marketing team.
I keep seeing iPhone Pocket and hope it means small iPhone like how gameboy pocket meant small gameboy.
iPod socks were sold $29 for a pack of 6.
It was like a cool and fun joke. A actually a
The current "iPhone Pocket" is totally unrelated IMO.
Also, I'm very disappointed that they put the ISSEY MIYAKE name on this garbage.
M. Issey Miyake died in 2022. He was a very elegant Japanese designer and I'm not sure he would be happy to see his name associated with this s**t. What we do in 2025 is kind of sad and disrespectful.

Even those things are stupidly overpriced, but then people with plenty of money love to waste it. Paying this much for the equivalent of a sock with a hole in it is absolutely insane.
Would love to understand the demographic that's buying this. its rediculous! 🤣
Yeah, this is a fashion item, not a tech item. The fashion industry, where people will pay 10s or 100s of thousands for an item of clothing that cost $100 to make because of who designed it or who else has been papped with one. Move on folks, nothing to see here.
If you are in Boston I’m sure the Boylston Apple Store will have them.
Also, great Seinfeld reference
Whenever somebody fashion forward visits this MR retirement village, we inadvertently scare them away.
When I first saw the announcement, I thought it was! I thought the phrase “inspired by a piece of cloth” was a dead giveaway that it was satirical!
… but here we are. 😞
Or what. It will fly out of that “pocket” after a few metres of jogging, LOL. It’s readily available (not sold out) in France for 159€ (short) or 249€ (long) versions. I have got the money, but also have much better real pockets. 😉
