- Apple has reportedly halted the production of its FineWoven accessory line following months of customer complaints.
- The company may be looking into a new alternative that is more durable than FineWoven’s material quality.
- While it’s still unclear what the upcoming material could be, it almost certainly won’t be genuine leather.
With the launch of the iPhone 15 series last September, Apple discontinued its leather-made accessories in favor of a new FineWoven material. While the two iPhone case variants share the same $59 price tag, their look, feel, and longevity don’t quite match. As a result, customers and reviewers have been voicing their frustrations on online platforms for months, and Apple may have finally listened.
According to leaker Kosutami, Apple has stopped and removed the production line for its FineWoven accessories. The company is reportedly shifting to a new material due to FineWoven’s bad durability.
