1. Apple has released a new product called the iPhone Pocket, a cloth sling for your phone, priced at $149.95 (short size) and $229.95 (long, crossbody size). The design is inspired by the concept of "a piece of cloth" and is reminiscent of work by Issey Miyake, known for his innovative tech-forward approach to fashion.
2. The iPhone Pocket is building on existing trends in phone accessories, particularly crossbody styles, and could be seen as a potential successor to the popular Labubu keychains, given its accessory-for-an-accessory nature.
3. The iPhone Pocket's design has roots in Steve Jobs' personal style, as Issey Miyake was responsible for creating Jobs' iconic black mockneck shirt. Despite not being involved in the current design of the iPhone Pocket, the Miyake label continues to influence Apple's aesthetic.
