Got hit back hard. for accessoriesThe FineWoven family or various fabric case-type devices that even though they came out to meet the eco-friendly trend But it doesn’t seem to please Apple fans at all. There were even rumors that the machine would be folded. Canceled production altogether. The main reason is that the product is not durable, the paint is peeling, scratches are visible, and it gets damp easily, counter to the relatively high price.
The FineWoven family was first introduced at the iPhone 15 series launch event in September 2023. The purpose is to reduce carbon emissions in production. Because the process emits less pollution than producing leather cases. Including the fabric being made from materials that are 68% recycled from used products.
Recently, there was a user of the X platform (X) named Kosutami (@Kosutami_Ito), an Apple product collector. Came out to spread rumors that Apple will stop producing FineWoven products due to criticism over the material’s durability. Now the company is looking for other materials to use instead. And it is expected that they will not return to using the same movie as before. As previously announced at WWDC 2023
Additionally, Apple’s spring products, the FineWoven family, do not have any new colors. It may be one of the signs that production will not continue. and published on this website may be inventory. That takes some time. The product will then be sold out.
Additionally, Wall Street Journal reporter Joanna Stern posted on the X platform that her FineWoven iPhone case was brown like a rotten banana. It made her worry about hygiene.
Similarly, Alex Metz, a reporter from TechRadar news agency, posted that his case scratches easily. Including when holding the case, you can still feel the humidity. He said it wasn’t a “disaster,” but it was a big deal.
The FineWoven family of products is a material made from microtwill fabric. The tiny 6 micron fibers (12 times thinner than a human hair) are woven together very tightly, giving it a soft, suede-like feel. It is used as an accessory for other Apple products, such as the iPhone 15 series case priced at 2,390 baht, the MagSafe bag priced at 2,390 baht, the AirTag keychain priced at 1,690 baht, and the Apple Watch strap priced at 3,800 baht.
However, until now, Apple has not confirmed or denied the rumors.
