How much would you pay for a “cut up sock” that simply holds your phone? Apple’s latest bewildering release, the iPhone Pocket – essentially a designer phone strap priced up to an astonishing $230 – ignited a firestorm of debate but still sold out in mere hours. Despite widespread ridicule, with many comparing it to a “cut up sock” or even Borat’s infamous mankini, this controversial accessory vanished from shelves globally. Developed in collaboration with renowned Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake, the product was touted as an “additional pocket” for your everyday items, designed for versatile wear. However, critics swiftly condemned the exorbitant price tag, especially in an era dominated by rapidly advancing AI technology. Conversely, a vocal minority championed Apple’s foray into experimental fabrics and “smart clothing,” finding the product surprisingly appealing. Molly Anderson and Yoshiyuki Miyamae provided insights into its “3D-knitted construction” and design philosophy. This rapid sell-out, amidst such polarising reception, starkly underscores Apple’s unparalleled influence and brand loyalty.
