iPhone 17 Cases Allegedly Reveal Holes for Crossbody Strap [Images]

A new leak today offers another look at cases said to be for Apple's upcoming iPhone 17, showing a design with two distinct holes along the bottom edge. The images follow earlier reports that Apple is preparing a new case material and a crossbody strap accessory for this fall's lineup.

The photos were shared by leaker Majin Bu, who previously reported that the cases would include two lanyard holes to support a new crossbody strap. The strap is said to use a magnetic system with a flexible metal core, letting it attach and detach without traditional hooks.




Apple is expected to move away from its heavily criticized FineWoven material this year. Reports suggest a new synthetic fabric with a more durable, non-slip texture, possibly branded as 'TechWoven.' The strap accessory may be made from a similar woven nylon, with a silicone version also rumored.

The crossbody strap is said to already be in production and may launch in a range of colors this September alongside the iPhone 17. It could also work with other devices, including the rumored AirPods Pro 3.

Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 lineup on September 9 at its "Awe dropping" event. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for updates.
