iPhone Pocket Now Available to Order, But Already Selling Out

It will also fill up with self-appointed meta commenters offering banal observations and condescending eye rolls at people who are so bold to suggest that selling a sock with a cut in it for $230 is ridiculous. What do you think of those people?

Those people are pretty awesome! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Apple recently teamed up with Japanese fashion brand ISSEY MIYAKE to create the iPhone Pocket, a limited-edition knitted accessory designed to carry an iPhone.

iPhone Pocket is available to order on Apple's online store starting today, in the United States, France, China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. However, it is already completely sold out in the United States, and many size and color combinations are quickly running out in the other countries too.

The accessory can also be purchased at the following Apple Store locations, while supplies last:

• Apple Canton Road, Hong Kong
• Apple Ginza, Tokyo
• Apple Jing'an, Shanghai
• Apple Marché Saint-Germain, Paris
• Apple Myeongdong, Seoul
• Apple Orchard Road, Singapore
• Apple Piazza Liberty, Milan
• Apple Regent Street, London
• Apple SoHo, New York City
• Apple Xinyi A13, Taipei

The accessory is offered in short and long sizes, in a variety of colors:

• Short: Lemon, Mandarin, Purple, Pink, Peacock, Sapphire, Cinnamon, and Black
• Long: Sapphire, Cinnamon, and Black

In the U.S., pricing ranged from $149.95 to $229.95.

iPhone Pocket is designed to be versatile. It can fully enclose an iPhone, but you can stretch it to peek at your screen and/or fit additional items. The accessory can be held in your hand, tied onto a bag, or worn directly on you.

Here is how Apple describes the iPhone Pocket:Given it is a limited-edition accessory, it is unclear if there will ever be additional inventory of the iPhone Pocket once it is fully sold out worldwide.

P.S. Who remembers iPod Socks?

It would be better to give the money you were going to spend on this to a Homeless Charity, which includes many people with huge potential, who have just fallen through the cracks.
Ask someone (like Tom Daley, the Olympic Diver from Great Britain) to knit something like it and give him the money for wool, or just ask someone you know who has the skill.

Items like this ( and the case for the Apple Headphones, as well as various others over the years), especially when there are so many people having a hard time, and just need some help to step up the ladder again.

This should be a parody, should cost £9.99

I wonder if Tom Daley could make something like it, and encourage people to send the money they were going to spend to a homeless charity, or food bank? What a great PR stunt it would be!!

That price is a bloody joke!. If you buy this then you have way too much money.

If people buy this, they don't deserve to have the money they own.

You spend your money how you see it, and I’ll do the same. Mind your own business, you’ll be happier for it.

Thanks but I’ll continue to carry around my expensive iPhone 16 Pro in an old sports sock.
