Apple's latest collaboration is a fashion statement: a $150 iPhone sling, designed by the same creative mind behind Steve Jobs' iconic black turtleneck. This limited-edition accessory, launching on November 14, is a testament to Apple's commitment to innovation and style. The iPhone Pocket, crafted in Japan, features a unique 3D-knitted construction inspired by Issey Miyake's A-POC manufacturing system. It's a sleek, stretchy design that allows users to carry their iPhone hands-free, wear it on their body, or attach it to bags. The design director, Yoshiyuki Miyamae, emphasizes the joy of personal expression, reflecting Apple's universal appeal and ISSEY MIYAKE's minimalist aesthetic. The accessory comes in two versions, with prices ranging from $149.95 to $229.95, and is compatible with all iPhone models. This collaboration is a fascinating return to a relationship that dates back to the 1980s when Jobs admired Miyake's innovative clothing designs, including a taupe nylon jacket. The black turtlenecks Jobs requested became his signature look, and now, the iPhone Pocket continues this legacy, blending technology and fashion seamlessly.
