Overview

• MacRumors, 9to5Mac and iDownloadBlog relay a claim from leaker Majin Bu that Apple has a Crossbody Strap with a flexible magnetic core and oppositely polarized end rings to secure the connection.
• The strap is described as woven nylon with a possible silicone variant, and it is said to pair with new TechWoven or silicone cases for the iPhone 17 lineup.
• The leaker also suggests potential compatibility with an updated AirPods Pro case, extending the accessory’s use beyond iPhone.
• Majin Bu contends production has started for availability alongside the new phones, though this timing has not been confirmed by Apple.
• AppleInsider challenges the leak’s functionality, noting absent mounting points on case images and emphasizing that the circulating photos and packaging are third‑party knockoffs.
