Apple will release an upgraded TechWoven case for the upcoming iPhone 17 series. This new product retains the fabric style of its predecessor, the FineWoven, but features significant advancements in materials and craftsmanship. According to a blog post cited by IT Home, the new case utilizes a new, sturdier woven material with a dense, textured surface, which not only enhances grip comfort but also effectively prevents wear and tear from long-term use.
The TechWoven cases released this time are available in five colors: orange, purple, green, blue, and gray, expected to align with the color scheme of the new iPhone 17. However, samples show minor wear marks on the bottom corners of the blue case, a defect that contributed to the previous generation's poor market performance, and whether Apple has fully resolved this issue remains to be seen. In terms of functional design, the new case incorporates metallic side buttons and optimizes the opening for the camera control button, while retaining the MagSafe magnetic connection to ensure seamless compatibility with Apple's wireless charging ecosystem.
Notably, the TechWoven case also features a lanyard hole, an improvement clearly intended to meet the needs of a wider range of user scenarios. As the release date of iPhone 17 approaches, whether this upgraded version of the phone case can win the favor of consumers with these improvements will become the focus of market attention. Judging from the information currently exposed, Apple is obviously working hard to create a mobile phone protection solution that is both beautiful and practical.
