"The design drew inspiration from the concept of “a piece of cloth”

And people complain about the price of hand-crocheted items…
Samsung fanboys will see this and say “fuck apple”
As will everyone else with an accurate perspective of that walled garden of exploitation and grift 🤷🏻
WTF am I looking at? Like a money belt (but a sash) for your phone?
For people confused about the price, just look up any clothes by Issey Miyake. That’s the costly part, Issey Miyake.
$80 more for a longer strap is pretty funny.
Apple fanboy here and what the actual fuck is this? This would have been funny on April Fool’s Day. It’s now the dumbest thing I’ve seen online all day, and I’ve seen a fair few dumb things. Maybe all week.
This is your emerging self awareness.
Yeah, step two is to buy a Pixel with iPhone 11 level performance and just not give a fuck that Google sells my personal information off the back porch.
Nah, I don’t agree with everything Apple does. Like the Vision Pro. I get that it’s not a VR headset by Facebook and that it’s a “spatial computer.” I don’t care, it’s not what I want and I certainly don’t need it. And the iPhone Pro… it meant something before, but this generation? Base 17 is all I need. The optical zoom is a lie (it crops its main camera to get you 2x zoom) but it’s good enough for my needs. Never cared about the iPad, but my wife loves hers. HomePod is expensive but good (like Bose, though maybe not as good as Bose, I dunno). I like Macs. I like the idea that you can buy a computer and not necessarily be the product. Like yeah they all have telemetry, but I don’t have to have Candy Crush on my Mac because King… well, I guess Microsoft owns King now? Bought them with Activision. Before, it was because King bought the rights to Windows 10 users. Macs aren’t perfect, but they don’t do shit like that.
I dunno, I’m not a brand evangelist, I just like what I like.
I was an Apple fanboy too, but with all the bootlicking they’ve been doing, I have a feeling they will create a backdoor for Trump admin to use. I’ve jumpe to Pixel 9a with Graphene OS. I like it so far.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say a backdoor, but I do see them removing apps at Trump’s behest. In fact they’ve already done so (and so did Google), the ICE stuff.
The future isn’t apps that are curated by an app store, it’s on the web where they can’t easily control it. They’ll need to block it at the network level, but a VPN could get around it. Then it’s 100% on the user.
If Android fanboys could read they’d be very upset
I don’t give a fuck what you normies do.
We’re all on 7-year old Androids on Lineage. Upgrade, to what? Malwarephone 14? I’m good.
This is just something Apple does once in a while. Remember when the new Mac Pro model came out a few years back and they sold optional wheels for the tower that were just wildly overengineered and cost hundreds of dollars? These “Apple is selling something SO EXPENSIVE” stories just sell the idea of Apple as a lifestyle luxury brand. You’ll never see anyone with one of these in real life, but you can bet they’re included in swag bags at celeb events.
Fuck Apple.
Also that photography direction, “Like what if you made it look as poorly lit as possible by shining a flashlight on the product?”
This is dumbest thing ever seen. People who buy these and use them should be shunned.
That’s Apple’s style. It’s their artistic way of telling you that you’re only as valuable as the products you buy.
I’ll take your expertise, ye Fartographer.
From the title I was thinking a smaller, cheaper iPhone.
Nope. It’s an overpriced bag for your overpriced phone. 🤦♂️
“Bag” is charitable.
They made a sock.
It’s 3d knitted!!
Do they sell one with “I’m a Fucking Moron” printed on it? Because they should.
Wtf, I thought this was going to be a new small iPhone to replace the 13 mini which some people miss. But no, lol.
Ah yes just what everyone needs an isock
When stretched, the open textile subtly reveals its contents and allows users to peek at their iPhone display. iPhone Pocket can be worn in a variety of ways — handheld, tied onto bags, or worn directly on the body.
“Subtly” digging around your shoulder-holstered tube sock.
They forgot to mention that you can also use it as the world’s most expensive roll of quarters.
Oh neat, a knitted sheep’s scrotum in an assortment of colors.
