If you thought Apple’s $19 polishing cloth was ridiculous, wait until you hear about Apple’s newest product: the limited edition iPhone Pocket is a cloth sling for your phone, which retails for $149.95 in the short size, and $229.95 in the long, crossbody size.
The item itself seems like it could be ragebait. Apple’s website says that it is inspired by the concept of “a piece of cloth,” in which just one piece of fabric comprises the entire design.
But the iPhone Pocket actually makes a lot of sense in the context of the fashion world — I’d buy a small, bright yellow sock pocket to tie to my azalea pink Telfar bag if the price did not horrify me. But admittedly, I am probably not in the income bracket that a three-figure sock targets.
