Apple is selling a $230 iPhone pocket inspired by a 'piece of cloth'

From: Business Insider

Apple is dropping a new way to accessorize your iPhone.

The tech giant is getting in on the trend of people wearing their phones and tapping a luxury fashion brand for its latest collaboration. Apple plans to release this week a special-edition iPhone pocket designed in collaboration with the high-end Japanese brand Issey Miyake.

The tech giant said it and Issey Miyake share a mutual design approach that emphasizes simplicity. The accessory was inspired by the concept of a "piece of cloth," Apple said on its website.

"iPhone Pocket explores the concept of 'the joy of wearing iPhone in your own way,'" Issey Miyake design director Yoshiyuki Miyamae said in a news release.

The pocket, which resembles a sock, comes in a variety of colors and two sizes: short or long. The $230 long version can be worn like a crossbody, and the $150 short pocket fits on your wrist or can be attached to a bag, as Apple demonstrated in photos.

This is Apple's second dip into wearable iPhone fashion in 2025. When it released the new iPhone lineup in September, it dropped a crossbody creation alongside it for $59.

This Issey Miyake design, however, is a limited-edition accessory dropping November 14 online and in select stores around the world.

While it's the first time these two brands have collaborated on a product, Apple has a history with Issey Miyake that dates back to the Steve Jobs era.

The late founder and CEO of Apple was known for his minimalist style, particularly during his famous Apple keynotes. Jobs often wore a black turtleneck and jeans onstage when he introduced innovative products like the iPhone and MacBook Air.

His iconic black turtlenecks were designed by designer Issey Miyake, who retired the shirts from his namesake clothing brand after Jobs' death in 2011.

From: Business Insider

Apple is dropping a new way to accessorize your iPhone.

苹果公司正推出一款全新的iPhone配件。

「Drop」这个词有一种常见的熟词僻义，就是指「发布」、「推出」或者「发行」。例如，在音乐行业中，drop经常用来表示音乐人或乐队发布新专辑。这种用法相当于release或put out。例如，Drake just dropped a new album yesterday. Drake刚刚在昨天发布了一张新专辑。

类似地，在时尚界，drop也可以用来描述某些时尚品牌发布新产品线或合作系列。例如，Supreme is dropping a new collaboration with Nike next week. Supreme下周将与耐克推出一款新联名系列。

此外，drop在互联网和科技领域中也经常被用来描述新产品的发布。例如，Apple just dropped the latest version of its iPhone. 苹果公司刚刚发布了最新版本的iPhone。

需要注意的是，drop的这种含义通常只在口语和非正式场合中使用，而在正式文体和书面语中，更倾向于使用release、launch、introduce等。

accessorize /əkˈsɛsəˌraɪz/ 表示“装饰”，英文解释为“To accessorize something such as a set of furniture or clothing means to add other things to it in order to make it look more attractive.”举个🌰：Use a belt to accessorize a plain dress. 用一道腰带来点缀一条素色连衣裙。

📺美剧《绝望的主妇》（Desperate Housewives）第八季中的台词提到：I know. It is horrible. Maybe if I accessorize. 我知道 真难看 我加些配饰好了。

📺美剧《劳拉之谜》（The Mysteries of Laura）第一季中的台词提到：You're not the only one who can accessorize. 你可不是唯一会戴装饰品的人。

The pocket, which resembles a sock, comes in a variety of colors and two sizes: short or long. The $230 long version can be worn like a crossbody, and the $150 short pocket fits on your wrist or can be attached to a bag, as Apple demonstrated in photos.

While it's the first time these two brands have collaborated on a product, Apple has a history with Issey Miyake that dates back to the Steve Jobs era.

苹果已故创始人兼CEO乔布斯以极简风格闻名，尤其在其标志性的产品发布会上。乔布斯常身穿黑色高领衫与牛仔裤登台，发布如iPhone与MacBook Air等革命性产品。
