Apple–Issey Miyake iPhone Pocket Sells Out Worldwide as Counterfeits Emerge

The limited‑edition drop leaves buyers waiting for word on a restock.

Overview

  • Released November 14 in the U.S., U.K., France, China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, the iPhone Pocket sold out in every market within days.
  • The 3D‑knitted accessory was offered in short and long strap variants across multiple colors, priced at $149.95 and $229.95 in the U.S.
  • Apple describes the design as a stretchable, ribbed textile that fully encloses an iPhone yet lets users peek at the display and wear it in several ways.
  • Despite widespread online mockery likening it to a pricey iPod sock, limited quantities drew strong demand from collectors and fashion buyers.
  • Lookalike versions are already listed on Chinese marketplaces such as AliExpress and Alibaba for roughly $6–$10 without Issey Miyake branding, while Apple has not confirmed any additional production.
