I had to check the calendar to see if it was April 1. If Apple can sell a sock to put your iPhone in for 150 bucks… I wish I had the skills for that.

- rootusrootus 11mo agoThey're hardly the only retailer that successfully markets overpriced accessories.

You can ask a traditional crafts person in most the world to make you a custom one with traditional patterns and it would be significantly better. Then they can feed their family for a least a week. Apple isn't the only one who can make a giant sock!

- intrasight 11mo agoThis Apple product is not a phone strap and those Amazon products are not Apple products

- jama211 11mo agoI feel like you’ve missed the forest for the trees here
- criddell 11mo agoApple selling this validates the idea. Those traditional crafts people now have a bigger market to sell their unique variations into.
- 0xDEAFBEAD 11mo agoApple wants to charge $150 for this sock. My premium fair-trade version, woven using traditional indigenous practices from sustainably-grown biodegradable materials, blessed via an aboriginal ritual, complete with an autographed certificate of authenticity from a rural craftsperson who subsequently follows you on social media, will cost $200. Joke's on Apple.
- arresin 11mo agoIt’s a very long sock though. And it’s, ahhh… “3D woven”

- ebbi 11mo agoRarely do items (and their prices) make sense in fashion - but people still buy it by the droves. All it will take is some celebrity placements with the iPhone Pocket and people will lap it up.
- twobitshifter 11mo agoHey, I don’t know about you, but that seems like a screaming deal for a design that drew inspiration from the concept of “a piece of cloth”
- jama211 11mo agoIt’s just a small collab, who cares
