- Leaker Majin Bu published photos showing TechWoven cases in five colors for the iPhone 17 series, ahead of Apple's September 9 reveal.

- Analysts say long-term durability tests will determine whether TechWoven cases become the go-to accessory across the entire iPhone 17 lineup by balancing function and design, with success depending on resolving FineWoven's issues soon.
