Apple has stopped production of FineWoven accessories, according to Apple leaker and prototype collector known as “Kosutami.”
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kosutami explained that Apple stopped production of FineWoven accessories due to their poor durability. The company may adopt another material other than leather for its high-end accessories in the future.
Kosutami has revealed specific information about FineWoven accessories in the past. The leaker revealed Apple’s plans to introduce new Apple Watch bands made from “woven fabric” more than a month before their launch, along with matching iPhone cases. Kosutami also revealed the very first images of the FineWoven accessories shortly before the event where they were officially announced. MacRumors We understand that the source of this latest information regarding the production halt is the same as these previous rumors from FineWoven which were ultimately accurate, so they should be taken seriously until we know more.
Apple stopped selling leather accessories in September last year, replacing them with a more environmentally friendly “FineWoven” material that the company describes as a “luxurious, durable microtwill” made from 68% recycled polyester post-consumer. FineWoven iPhone cases are priced at $59, MagSafe Wallets are $59, AirTag Holders are $35, and Apple Watch Bands are $99.
Accessories made from this material have received very poor reviews from customers, citing poor durability and disappointing quality. Noticeably absent from Apple’s spring refresh were FineWoven accessories in new color options. If Apple has indeed stopped production of FineWoven accessories, it may be some time before the company’s existing inventories begin to become noticeably depleted.
