Apple has decided to discontinue the FineWoven Cases that were launched last year. The tech giant released the cases as an environment-friendly option for leather cases. Even though the cases were susceptible to dirt and damage, they still came with a USD 59 price tag. The company has now removed the existing FineWoven cases for older iPhone devices from their official retail website.However, FineWoven versions of the MagSafe Wallet and AirTag Key Ring remain available to purchase.
Upon its launch, FineWoven cases received a lot of flak on social media for its poor performance as compared to the previously offered leather cases by the tech giant. Made with 68 percent poly-recycled material, Apple introduced this product to be more environmentally friendly, but the users soon discovered that the cases are easily stained and prone to fraying.
These cases will not be released for the recently launched iPhone 16 lineup, instead, users can purchase Silicone or clear cases for their devices. “Apple cases for the iPhone 16 lineup work seamlessly with Camera Control, featuring a sapphire crystal coupled to a conductive layer that communicates finger movements to the Camera Control,” the company said.
In India, the iPhone 16 Silicone Case with MagSafe costs Rs 4,900 and is available to purchase in different colour options like – Fuchsia, Star Fruit, Lake Green and Ultramarine.
