Apple’s just-announced iPhone Pocket accessory has been mocked over its $230 price point and threadbare nature — which has been described as simply being a ribbed fabric “sock.”
The high-fashion holder is described by Apple as a “beautiful way to wear and carry iPhone,” born out of a collaboration with designer Issey Miyake — who previously created some of late Apple leader Steve Jobs’ famous turtleneck sweaters.
But the response to iPhone Pocket has not been kind, with the overwhelming amount of feedback online suggesting that the accessory is emblematic of Apple’s ability to create products that fans will pay over-the-odds for — even those made out of fabric.
