Apple’s FineWoven Cases and Bands Low Stock, Can They Be Discontinued?

Apple’s FineWoven Faux Leather Cases and Straps at Low Stock Levels

Apple’s FineWoven iPhone cases and Apple Watch straps made from faux leather have reached their lowest stock levels ever. This situation indicates that this product line, which has received controversial and often negative reviews, could be completely discontinued just one year after its launch.

The current low stock levels of FineWoven iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands may mean that Apple is either planning to discontinue these accessories or refresh the product line with new color options and support for new devices. Apple’s next major event, ‘It’s Glowtime‘, will take place on September 9. At this event, Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 16 family, the Apple Watch Ultra 3, and new products like Apple Intelligence.

If Apple is considering continuing the FineWoven line, we might see compatible cases for the new products at this event. However, if there is no information about FineWoven cases at the event, it means that Apple will not release new FineWoven cases after depleting its current stock.

How Faux is Faux Leather?

FineWoven was introduced as part of Apple’s mission to make all its products carbon-neutral by 2030, to replace traditional leather materials. According to Apple, this material consists of 68% recycled content. However, the company refrains from sharing details about the exact components of this material. This is likely because some undesired substances may be part of the recycling process. This situation creates significant uncertainty for consumers.
