Overview

• The claim comes from leaker Majin Bu, who says Apple plans a more technical, textured synthetic fabric for iPhone 17 cases.
• Reported finishes include matte green, orange, blue, and purple, with descriptions of a grippy feel that skews away from a luxury look.
• The leaker asserts improved durability over FineWoven while aligning with Apple’s sustainability goals, though Apple has not confirmed any change.
• AppleInsider questions the authenticity of the shared images, citing the leaker’s mixed record and the possibility the case photos were edited or sourced from another maker.
• Mentions of an integrated lanyard loop on silicone cases and possible “Liquid Glass” variants remain unclear, with the iPhone 17 reveal expected in early September but not yet announced.
