Apple’s latest limited-edition accessory is a crossbody cloth strap designed to fit every iPhone.
The iPhone Pocket is made in partnership with Apple’s Design Studio and Japanese fashion house Issey Miyake. The accessory comes in eight different colors: black, cinnamon, lemon, mandarin, peacock, pink, purple, and sapphire.

Apple calls this pleated, cloth accessory a “singular 3D-knitted construction.” The sock element where you place your phone can be stretched, allowing you to put in other small everyday items.
The brand also encourages users to wear the accessory in various ways, suggesting it can be tied onto a bag, as well as carried on the arm or across the body. It comes in two different sizes—long (31.5 inches) and short (15.8 inches).

Miyake, a favorite of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, created the iconic black turtlenecks that Jobs regularly wore on stage when announcing new products. Miyake died in August 2022.
The iPhone Pocket’s short version comes in all eight colors and costs $149.95. The longer version only comes in black, cinnamon, or sapphire and costs $229.95. Both go on sale Friday, Nov. 14.

Apple says it’ll be available in stores, but the company’s press release suggests it may be exclusive to its New York City Soho location for those in the US. If you want to buy an iPhone Pocket, your best bet is likely through its official website.
Apple introduced its first crossbody strap accessory alongside the iPhone 17 series back in September. It costs $59 and it attaches to Apple’s official Silicone and TechWoven cases.
