As anticipation builds for the unveiling of the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple is expected to introduce a range of exciting new accessories to complement its latest smartphones. Alongside the standard Apple silicone cases, several innovative products are rumored to be on the horizon. Here’s a detailed look at the accessories making waves in the tech community.
In a shift towards sustainability, Apple previously discontinued its leather iPhone cases and replaced them with the eco-friendly FineWoven option. However, due to durability concerns, this line was short-lived. Now, Apple is set to unveil its new replacement: TechWoven. According to tech insider Majin Bu, this new line will launch alongside the iPhone 17 and is expected to feature materials similar to rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate), crafted from repurposed plastic bottles.
TechWoven cases are anticipated to come in a variety of colors, including black, blue, brown, green, and purple. This new accessory aims to provide both style and sustainability for users looking to protect their new devices.
In addition to the TechWoven cases, Apple is rumored to be launching a new Crossbody Strap accessory for the iPhone 17. This innovative accessory is designed to pair seamlessly with the new Apple-designed cases, allowing users to wear their iPhones comfortably across their bodies. Majin Bu reports that all new iPhone 17 cases will feature lanyard holes at the bottom, enhancing the functionality of the Crossbody Strap.
The strap will utilize magnets to ensure a secure yet convenient connection, making it easier than ever to keep your iPhone within reach while on the go.
Apple enthusiasts may be thrilled to hear that the Smart Battery Case could be making a comeback. This beloved accessory was previously discontinued, but reports suggest that Apple is working on a new version tailored specifically for the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. According to Wayne Ma from The Information, there’s a significant percentage of users who struggle to get through a full day without recharging the thin device.
To address this issue, Apple is developing a phone case that not only protects the iPhone 17 Air but also integrates a battery pack. While there are speculations that new Smart Battery Cases could be released for the entire iPhone 17 lineup, the current focus appears to be on the iPhone 17 Air model.
While details remain less certain, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has hinted at a potential new bumper case for the iPhone 17 Air. This accessory could offer users a way to enjoy the ultra-thin design of the device while still providing a level of protection. If this rumor holds true, it will likely attract users looking for a balance between style and safety.
