Overview

• A short video posted on X by leaker Majin Bu shows a silicone case on an iPhone 17 dummy with small holes in each bottom corner that appear intended for attaching a lanyard.
• Multiple tech outlets corroborated the clip but emphasized the footage includes no branding or provenance so it could be an Apple accessory, a Beats product, or a third‑party case.
• Coverage highlights Majin Bu's mixed track record and history of resharing material, prompting journalists to treat the leak as plausible but unverified.
• Observers have tied the 'Liquid Silicone' name to iOS 26’s 'Liquid Glass' design language, though the label and the case's materials remain unconfirmed and earlier leaks showed different designs.
• Apple typically debuts official cases with new iPhones in early September, so the company’s event is expected to determine whether the lanyard cutouts are genuine and whether they affect accessory features such as Camera Control.
