Apple Faces Backlash Over FineWoven Material in Accessories

Despite environmental aims, Apple's FineWoven material draws criticism for poor durability and aesthetics.

Apple has phased out leather in its accessories, including iPhone cases and Watch bands, in favor of a new material called FineWoven.
The FineWoven material, introduced as an environmentally friendlier option, has been criticized for being fragile and not aesthetically pleasing.
Reports indicate that FineWoven cases and bands are showing signs of wear such as peeling and discoloration within months of use.
Despite the environmental benefits touted by Apple, customers and critics are calling for a better replacement for the discontinued leather products.
Apple's recent advertising efforts, including the 'Goodbye Leather' ad, coincide with Earth Day, highlighting the company's commitment to environmental sustainability.
