With just over a week until Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 launch event on 9 September, a new leak suggests that the tech giant has another surprise up its sleeve.
Rumors indicate that Apple will be unveiling a crossbody strap designed to complement the upcoming iPhone 17 TechWoven cases. The strap, made of woven nylon with a silicone option, will feature a secure magnetic attachment to the phone case.
The straps are expected to come in various colors, including black, navy, mauve, mint green, yellow, and brown, as showcased on Bu’s website.

The idea of an Apple crossbody strap aligns with the brand’s style and security focus, offering users a trendy yet practical accessory for their iPhones. However, concerns about the magnetic attachment’s safety and protection capabilities remain.
While convenient for users, a magnetic attachment may not provide sufficient security against theft or accidental drops. The practicality of a crossbody strap lies in securely clipping the phone case to the strap, which a magnetic attachment may lack.
Until the product is officially launched and tested, the true effectiveness of the crossbody strap remains uncertain. Stay tuned for more updates on Apple’s upcoming products and the iPhone 17 lineup.
