Apple is reportedly planning to end the production of FineWoven cases and watch bands. Apple launched its FineWoven iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands alongside the iPhone 15 series and Apple Watch series 9 last year, as a sustainable, textile-based alternative to leather accessories.
However, several users have complained since, regarding the material’s durability and its tendency to attract dirt and scuffs.
Apple has also not released any new colour option for its line of FineWoven accessories since its launch last year, suggesting that the company might already have slowed down the production.
Reportedly, Apple is now shutting down its production line for FineWoven accessories. However, the company is not expected to bring back leather accessories which it stopped selling in September last year.
Apple will likely move to another non-leather material, likely Alcantara for its premium line-up of iPhone cases and watch bands.
Apple’s upcoming line of accessories will likely debut alongside the next generation iPhone 16 series later this year.
