Apple Might Launch an Intriguing New iPhone 17 Accessory – but Something Makes Me Think It’s Fake

Apple replaces its FineWoven cases due to durability issues with new TechWoven cases and introduces a magnetic Crossbody Strap for convenient phone carrying, according to leaks.

  • On September 9, Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 and several new accessories at its Awe Dropping event.
  • After FineWoven's durability complaints and discontinuation, last week leaks suggested a TechWoven replacement with a new Crossbody Strap tied to the cases.
  • Bu describes the Crossbody Strap as magnetic along its length to close without hooks, with all iPhone 17 cases featuring lanyard holes and compatibility in nylon or silicone variants.
  • Manufacturing notes indicate the Smart Battery Case for iPhone 17 Air is in production to extend usage, but magnetic interference warnings arise from magnets in straps and cases.
  • Amid skepticism, Majin Bu acknowledges many photos show third-party knockoff Apple packaging and leak inconsistencies persist until September 9.
