New iPhone 17 Case Video Shows Lanyard Holes, Authenticity in Question

Unlabeled footage from a mixed‑record leaker leaves the case’s origin in doubt before Apple’s expected early‑September event.

Could this be Apple's replacement for FineWoven iPhone cases?

The iPhone 18 model will likely skip Apple’s fall release next year.
iPhone 17 launch is just a few days away.

Overview

  • A brief clip posted by Majin Bu shows a silicone iPhone 17 case on a dummy unit with small corner holes that appear designed for a lanyard.
  • Multiple outlets note the shell lacks branding and could be third‑party, contrasting it with earlier, bulkier case images that looked less Apple‑like and featured dubious cutouts.
  • Reports continue to point to a four‑model lineup—iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max—with a reveal widely tipped for September 9 and media invites expected as soon as August 26.
  • A separate rumor claims Apple will introduce a new synthetic fabric case to replace FineWoven and reiterates talk of lanyard loops on silicone cases, though none of this is confirmed.
  • Tipster chatter also outlines a budget iPhone 17e for spring 2026 with an A19 chip, a 6.1‑inch 60Hz OLED, Dynamic Island, a 48MP rear camera, and a 12MP front camera with Face ID.
