Overview

• On August 18, leaker Majin Bu posted a brief video showing a silicone MagSafe case on an iPhone 17 dummy with tiny holes at the bottom corners for attaching a wrist lanyard.
• Multiple outlets corroborated the clip but noted there is no indication whether the case is an official Apple product or a third-party accessory.
• The case is labeled “Liquid Silicone” in the footage, a name that observers have linked to iOS 26’s “Liquid Glass” design language without firm confirmation.
• There is precedent for lanyard cutouts in Apple accessories—AirPods Pro 2 charging cases and the fifth-generation iPod touch feature similar strap attachments—although Apple has generally offered lanyards through third-party partners.
• With Apple poised to unveil the iPhone 17 series within weeks, the company’s announcement is expected to confirm or refute the authenticity of the “Liquid Silicone” case and its lanyard feature.
