Born from the idea of creating an additional pocket, its understated design fully encloses iPhone, expanding to fit more of a user’s everyday items.
“The design of iPhone Pocket speaks to the bond between iPhone and its user, while keeping in mind that an Apple product is designed to be universal in aesthetic and versatile in use,” shared Yoshiyuki Miyamae, design director of MIYAKE DESIGN STUDIO

When stretched, the open textile subtly reveals its contents and allows users to peek at their iPhone display…

Phone Pocket features a singular 3D-knitted construction that is the result of research and development carried out at ISSEY MIYAKE. The design drew inspiration from the concept of “a piece of cloth” and…
iPhone Pocket in the short strap design retails at $149.95 (U.S.), and the long strap design at $229.95 (U.S.).
…What the fuck? This has to be hack or something. There’s no way a human being wrote that article, and didn’t know what they were doing.
“This can’t be real. Checks URL again.”
Dude! I was doing the same thing. I kept thinking, “Is this some new form of prank that hides the url somehow?”
I can’t stop laughing at this comment. I think that’s what we all did!
I did the same, but also double checked the date to make sure this wasn’t some weird April fools that got missed
This was my EXACT experience. How was this not satire?
And with all that piffle, they never actually tell what it’s made from. I assume some kind of acrylic? In which case it will snag and pill like crazy and look complete crap within a month.
I should start knitting these for Christmas gifts.
Personally, I’m saving up for the “Apple Stick and Bindle”, the nouveau-hobo accessory of the season.
I thought it was going to be a new form factor iPhone that could fit comfortably in your pocket.
Why in the hell would they make something people want?
-me and my iPhone 13 mini dreading an “upgrade”-
We’ve come full circle.
Also, I wonder if this is some kind of scheme to park the “iPhone Pocket” name for a bit in case they want to make a phone called that in 10 years.
Full sock-le?
What the actual fuck.
Like many, I thought for a microsecond that they actually brought out a new phone model that will fit in a pocket.
But no, of course they didn’t. Because why the fuck would anyone want that.
Oh God I feel dumber having read this. How is this not the onion?! A 3D knitted construction? Really?
I love this. This is perfect for Apple people.
It’s really not.
Apple seems to disagree with you.
What a sign of the times. God damn I fucking hate this. Some marketing team gleefully jerking themselves off to it somewhere. Their margins on this have got to be disgustingly high.
Profit: $229
It’s great! Costs about zero energy to produce, takes money from idiots, what’s not to love?!
“Never give a sucker an even break”.
The Flimflam man
And is made of polyester, microplastic
Would you rather one spend $230 on a little piece of shit like this or a new pair of tires? Bit relative isn’t it?
Apple users are so fucking stupid.
So a typical cross body bag?
No. Those can be useful. This can only hold your phone.
Many years back, I kept my ipod classic in an old sock to protect it while it banged around inside my bag. My buddy made fun of me for it, little did he know that my sense of fashion was just far ahead of its time.
A sock with straps for ONLY $229.95!
They know exactly how to price products for the Apple gang, any cheaper and no one would buy.
does it bother apple that it is compatible with all other phone brands?
Probably not. Can you imagine someone with a non-Apple phone not being willing to buy an iPhone, but being willing to buy one of those?
I cannot imagine anyone getting that phone cumsock to parade around
It’s pathetic that they
couldn’trefused to offer more than a handful of colors for their “piece of cloth”. And “3D-knitted construction”? Fuck off.Also, that thing looks like a pickpocket’s wet dream.
A literal fucking pocket, as I expected. SMDH
