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

Apple calls this cloth accessory a “singular 3D-knitted construction” and it features a pleated design. 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 different ways suggesting it can be tied onto a bag as well as being carried on your arm or across your body. It comes in two different sizes with a long and short version, although Apple has yet to share exact dimensions.

The fashion designer Issey Miyake was a favorite of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Miyake made the iconic black turtle neck jumpers 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 different colors and will cost $149.95. The longer version only comes in black, cinnamon, or sapphire, costing $229.95. The accessory goes on sale on 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.
