Design & Display: Inspired by ISSEY MIYAKE’s Pleated Aesthetic

The iPhone Pocket features a ribbed, open-structure textile reminiscent of ISSEY MIYAKE’s signature pleats. This one-piece construction expands and adapts to the items placed inside, such as:

iPhone
AirPods
Cards
Small everyday items

When stretched, the open-knit pattern allows for a subtle peek at the iPhone display, blending function with artistry.

Apple emphasizes that the silhouette and colors are intentionally designed to pair beautifully with all current iPhone models, including the iPhone 17 series.

Performance & Practicality

Although not a traditional tech product, the iPhone Pocket offers practical benefits:

Universal fit for all iPhone sizes
Lightweight yet durable knit
Stretchable structure that adapts to contents
Secure enclosure that prevents accidental slips
Comfortable for all-day wear

This makes it a stylish alternative to conventional cross-body phone cases or pouches.
