A new hearsay claims Apple has halted production of its largely pan FineWoven case material , which replaced leather accessories when theiPhone 15range come last year .
The environmentally - favorable alternative , which also replaced leather forApple Watchbands , was the depicted object of widespread derision from other adopters due to business organisation over durability .
The case and bands were liable to pick up far more scratches , mule and dirt than the leather counterparts , according to anecdotical reports .
And now Apple may have given up on its FineWoven accessories , which the company says was crafted from a durable microtwill and retrace from 68 % post consumer recycle content .
The Twitter leaker Kosutami reckons “ FineWoven has go ” and believes Apple is planning to switch to another leather alternative .
Perhaps the FineWoven sheath , with its ‘ suede leather - like ’ last was n’t all that bad though ? A month after the stove was denote , Trusted Reviewseditor Max Parkerput the casing through its paces .
He wrote : “ While Apple calls the polish ‘ suede - like ’ , I would say it feels more like a car seatbelt . It feels gracious in the hand , but the rubberlike slope add only a small extra grip . It does n’t find anywhere as nice as the leather case , but I have no qualm with the look and I also have no issues with how the case is give up .
“ I ’ve been slip it in and out of my pocket , putting it in a bag and trying to address it as I would have done with the leather case and it still look fine a few weeks on . The fact I have the dingy color option in all likelihood helps , as I am sure the lighter chromaticity will show scratch a lot more . ”
Hopefully Apple will come up with an option , because there ’s really no need to wind your phone in the hide of an beast .
