Title: Apple's $230 iPhone Pocket Sells Out Nearly Immediately

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/11/15/001...

Apple's limited-edition "iPhone Pocket" sold out almost instantly worldwide
despite its $150-$230 price tag. Appleinsider reports: Longtime Apple users
immediately saw the resemblance with the old iPod socks, and everyone saw the
price. Apple and Japan's Issey Miyake fashion house partnered to create a
limited edition iPhone Pocket, a stretched sock-like bag or shoulder strap.
There was no denying that an iPhone in this Pocket looked snuggly. There was
definitely no denying that the accessory was well designed. There's also no
question that it was about as goofy as the iPod Sock from back the in the
day. But there was every denying of the price. The iPhone Pocket came in a
short version for $150, and a longer one for $230. For comparison, the Apple
Watch SE starts at $250. As ever, though, if you liked it, if you had a use
for it, and if you had the budget, there was no reason left not to buy. But
if you have hesitated because of the cost, you are now out of luck. There are
none left in the US.
