Apple's New iPhone 17 Accessory Leaked in Vibrant Orange Color

Several recent rumors have pointed to an all-new official Apple accessory arriving with the iPhone 17 lineup, and it looks like samples of the product have leaked ahead of Apple’s “Awe dropping” event on Tuesday.

Apple will offer a crossbody strap designed to work with the company's upcoming TechWoven cases for iPhone 17, and leaker Sonny Dickson has shared images of one of the straps in a vibrant orange color. The crossbody strap will reportedly have a flexible metal core and use magnetic attachment points, allowing users to easily connect and disconnect the accessory as needed.

Based on previous leaks, new TechWoven cases – replacing Apple's discontinued FineWoven line – will feature small attachment holes in the bottom corners specifically for looping through Apple's new strap. The accessory also apparently features a unique design that makes it magnetic along its entire length.

The latest leak tallies with earlier rumors from Majin Bu and fellow leaker DuanRui, who have shared CAD drawings and case clones showing similar attachment points on official iPhone 17 cases.

It won't be the first time Apple has leaned into wearable accessories for its products. The AirPods Pro 2 charging case includes a lanyard cutout, and the fifth-generation iPod touch featured built-in attachment hardware for similar purposes.


Apple is expected to release the iPhone 17 Pro models in a new orange color, so the strap we see here could also be alluding to it. Stay tuned for in-depth coverage of Apple's announcements this week.

This is the greatest news I've ever seen. The bravery of creating an orange strap should be an inspiration to all to follow your dreams. The hype for Tuesday couldn't be higher. I can't wait to see the incremental updates they have in store for us!

To be fair I live in London and the only people who are getting things snatched are the morons who stand at a bus stop right at the front of the road with their phones out, or the ones who carry them in the back pocket.

There are just a lot of those morons!
The actual morons are the ones snatching them off course, not the people who just use their stuff as they like!

Yes you silly person, they do.
Maybe in his little world they do not, but here in Europe that is a popular way of carrying the phone among young women. They seem to love to wear their phone like a handbag.

Yes, because hanging a grand worth of tech around your neck to make it easier to snatch and grab is so considerate.
Outside the US and UK these things are common as muck. They are much harder to steal on a strap than straight out of your hand or pocket. In some places they will just punch you in the face and in the confusion your phone goes. It acts as an actual viable deterrent.

This is begging for only one thing: an increase in strong-arm robberies. It's a literal "HEY, look at me!" beacon alerting all the stick-up kids that you have an iPhone… come and take it! This harkens back to when the first-gen iPod’s signature was its white earbuds, and people were being robbed left and right.
People who are inclined to use force when stealing will use it anyway - regardless of how you hold your phone. I have used one of these while travelling and in my home country on occasion if I’ve left the house with only my phone, and they’re great; no need to constantly hold my phone, shove it in my bra or put it on a random surface if I’m shopping (which is a common issue for women seeing as clothing designers don’t always like to give us pockets), and it means I drop my phone less often too.
