Apple's latest accessory, iPhone Pocket, has taken the internet by storm, with many users questioning its value. The limited-edition item, a collaboration with ISSEY MIYAKE, has sparked a heated debate on social media. The iPhone Pocket, priced at $149.95 for a short strap and $229.95 for a long strap, has been mocked for its design, which resembles a sock. Users have taken to social media to share their thoughts, with some calling it 'an expensive sock' and others praising its unique design. According to Apple, the iPhone Pocket is a 'singular 3D-knitted construction designed to fit any iPhone.' The item was crafted in Japan and draws inspiration from the concept of a piece of cloth. The design director of MIYAKE DESIGN STUDIO, Yoshiyuki Miyamae, stated that the iPhone Pocket 'speaks to the bond between iPhone and its user, while keeping in mind that an Apple product is designed to be universal in aesthetic and versatile in use.' The iPhone Pocket will be available for purchase on Friday, November 14, in selected Apple Store locations in the USA and on apple.com in several countries, including France, Greater China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and the US. While some users are praising the iPhone Pocket's unique design, many are questioning its value and calling it an 'expensive sock.' As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the iPhone Pocket has sparked a conversation about the intersection of art and technology.
