Apple just quietly launched one of its most interesting accessories in years\u2014and it\u2019s basically the spiritual, couture-level successor to the iPod Socks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If \u201ccouture\u201d and iPod Socks are two words you thought you\u2019d never read in the same sentence, well\u2026.same. Nonetheless, the new iPhone Pocket, created in collaboration with ISSEY MIYAKE, is a limited-edition, 3D-knitted sleeve designed to let you wear your iPhone (and a few essentials) instead of just carrying it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t just another strap case. It\u2019s Apple leaning fully into fashion collab territory, with a utilitarian piece that feels at home both in an Apple Store and on a runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is iPhone Pocket?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

iPhone Pocket is a fully enclosed, super-stretchy knit pouch that fits any iPhone model along with other small daily items\u2014cards, keys, AirPods, lip balm, you name it. It uses a ribbed, open-structured textile inspired by ISSEY MIYAKE\u2019s iconic Pleats Please collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The material subtly reveals what\u2019s inside when stretched, so you can glance at your display without pulling your phone all the way out, while still feeling more secure than a bare lanyard mount.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Crafted in Japan, iPhone Pocket is built as a singular 3D-knit\u2014no patchwork, no overdesigned hardware\u2014just a sculpted textile that expands and contracts naturally.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The long-strap version of the iPhone Pocket comes in three colors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apple and ISSEY MIYAKE are offering two versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Short strap iPhone Pocket in lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon, and black.<\/li>
  • Long strap iPhone Pocket (crossbody\/over-shoulder friendly) in sapphire, cinnamon, and black.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    You can carry it: handheld, looped onto a bag, or worn directly on the body as a fashion accessory. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Price and availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    iPhone Pocket is a special-edition accessory with limited distribution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Short strap: $149.95 (US)<\/li>
    • Long strap: $229.95 (US) \u00a0<\/li>
    • Available starting Friday, November 14, 2025, at select Apple Stores worldwide and online in France, Greater China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and the U.S. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Will every iPhone user be willing to spend this much on a fabric pocket? No. But for fans of ISSEY MIYAKE, collectors of special-edition Apple gear, or anyone deep in the Apple ecosystem who already invests in stands, docks, straps, and sleeves, iPhone Pocket fits right in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
