Yeah, I'm on a 3rd gen SE and hoping when it finally dies there will be some sort of similar option. Not hating on people who do, but I just do not use my phone enough to justify the hassle of having a freakin' cinder block in my pocket.
I’m still on the 1st gen SE from 2016. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that the iPhone Pocket was, in fact, not an iPhone that fits in your pocket. Looking at replacing my SE with a keitai supplemented with an Android emulator
That's some impressive battery longevity.

Me too! I thought it was an announcement for an iPhone that actually fit in your pocket! The phones are too damned big!
Has there even been a decently-sized phone since the Sony Compacts? And the iPhone minis of course.
Flips? I don’t feel like buying one but those look like they fit pockets easily.

Synthetic fabrics are perfectly capable of being high quality. Buzz Rickson aren't making their MA-1s out of junk.
The MA-1 "works" under a relatively narrow set of conditions that I don't see most days. I tried. It is a miserable garment for how and where I live. I'm not saying synthetic materials are always bad. I own a few jackets in synthetic materials that are good, but I have gone through a lot that are rubbish. For jackets it is more about the technical design than the exact material. I have had lots of expensive jackets t…
Synthetic materials vary by many orders of magnitude in quality depending on the purity, molecular weights, antioxidant packages, processing conditions, etc

#846I was hoping iPhone Pocket was a new iPhone mini which fits into any pocket, even the ones women have on their clothes.
Re: iPhone Pocket
#847This costs almost as much as my Android phone, which (unlike an iPhone) fits easily in the pockets of all of my clothes.
Re: iPhone Pocket
#848The problem is not that ordinary clothes pockets aren't "designed to fit any iPhone". The problem is many iPhones no longer fit inside many pockets.
For now at least, Apple is still selling to people who wear clothes, and their devices are becoming less compatible with those clothes. This is what a "workaround" or "kludge" looks like in the non-software world, and the consumer gets to pay for it to boot.

#849Objects have to earn the right to exist. We make so much stuff. Most of it unnecessary. Stuff that will soon be cluttering your home and then end up in a landfill. This is not a product that deserves to exist. It is not made from quality materials ( Nylon (14%), Polyester (85%), Polyurethane (1%)). It is not innovative. It is questionable whether it solves its primary use case particularly well. What makes this parti…
>It is questionable whether it solves its primary use case particularly well.
It solves the problem of "how do I flaunt the fact I carry an iPhone to everyone around me"
It's a conversation piece and way to flaunt your wealth and status by uncovering a iPhone 17 Pro Max S+ Duo XTX from it when asked.

#850what stops me buying one and using with my Samsung Galaxy?
