  $80 more for a longer strap is pretty funny.

  Apple fanboy here and what the actual fuck is this? This would have been funny on April Fool’s Day. It’s now the dumbest thing I’ve seen online all day, and I’ve seen a fair few dumb things. Maybe all week.

      Yeah, step two is to buy a Pixel with iPhone 11 level performance and just not give a fuck that Google sells my personal information off the back porch.

      Nah, I don’t agree with everything Apple does. Like the Vision Pro. I get that it’s not a VR headset by Facebook and that it’s a “spatial computer.” I don’t care, it’s not what I want and I certainly don’t need it. And the iPhone Pro… it meant something before, but this generation? Base 17 is all I need. The optical zoom is a lie (it crops its main camera to get you 2x zoom) but it’s good enough for my needs. Never cared about the iPad, but my wife loves hers. HomePod is expensive but good (like Bose, though maybe not as good as Bose, I dunno). I like Macs. I like the idea that you can buy a computer and not necessarily be the product. Like yeah they all have telemetry, but I don’t have to have Candy Crush on my Mac because King… well, I guess Microsoft owns King now? Bought them with Activision. Before, it was because King bought the rights to Windows 10 users. Macs aren’t perfect, but they don’t do shit like that.

      I dunno, I’m not a brand evangelist, I just like what I like.

    This is just something Apple does once in a while. Remember when the new Mac Pro model came out a few years back and they sold optional wheels for the tower that were just wildly overengineered and cost hundreds of dollars? These “Apple is selling something SO EXPENSIVE” stories just sell the idea of Apple as a lifestyle luxury brand. You’ll never see anyone with one of these in real life, but you can bet they’re included in swag bags at celeb events.

  Also that photography direction, “Like what if you made it look as poorly lit as possible by shining a flashlight on the product?”

    This is dumbest thing ever seen. People who buy these and use them should be shunned.

    That’s Apple’s style. It’s their artistic way of telling you that you’re only as valuable as the products you buy.

  They made a sock.

  From the head line I was thinking a smaller, cheaper iPhone.

  Nope. It’s an overpriced bag for your overpriced phone. 🤦‍♂️

    “Bag” is charitable.

  Wtf, I thought this was going to be a new small iPhone to replace the 13 mini which some people miss. But no, lol.

  Do they sell one with "I'm a Fucking Moron" printed on it? Because they should.

  Ah yes just what everyone needs an isock

  When stretched, the open textile subtly reveals its contents and allows users to peek at their iPhone display. iPhone Pocket can be worn in a variety of ways — handheld, tied onto bags, or worn directly on the body.

  “Subtly” digging around your shoulder-holstered tube sock.

  They forgot to mention that you can also use it as the world’s most expensive roll of quarters.

  I mean, if this was sold by Issey Miyake themselves, it would probably be pretty well aligned with the rest of their prices. But being sold by Apple as an Apple product, the price feels really out of place.

  I’m not saying $2-300 for this would be reasonable in any case, but it might have been more expected. Also, fun fact: All of Steve Jobs’ black turtlenecks were designed by Issey Miyake!

  This is pretty egregious, but honestly anyone who wants to buy it should. They deserve to be swindled have what they paid for. Anyone who doesn’t want to buy it, won’t.

  And fanboy simps will buy it, because status.

  • blitzen@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    There is a certain type of person who fanboys out toward Apple, and a certain type of person who buys things to show off as status symbols. I don’t think those types overlap much these days, which is why we’re seeing the iPhone Air fail.
