Apple has introduced a new accessory to the iPhone, and it is already spawning debates online. The tech giant has launched a crossbody strap for iPhones at Rs 5,900, which is almost the price of an entry-level smartphone in India. The accessory is convenient enough, providing a hands-free means to hold an iPhone and at the same time serving as a high-end fashion statement.
The strap fits to the chosen Apple cases and is composed of 100 percent recycled PET yarns. It is a lot to the point, smooth, narrow and flows freely around the body. There are also magnets and a length adjustment slider made of stainless steel designed to keep the strap in place, as well as allowing it to be shortened or lengthened.
The crossbody strap is a fit for the majority of body types, as it ranges between 108 cm and 208 cm. Its stainless steel mechanism enables the users to customise the fit to their taste. Its premium price does not provide any other accessories other than the strap.
Although Apple sells it as a fashionable and convenient tool, lots of customers have indicated that its price is equivalent to an inexpensive smartphone. The release showcases Apple’s ongoing effort to make even the most basic accessory experience a luxury lifestyle item. For some, it’s a useful addition. In other people, it is a flashback to the premium pricing that Apple loves to do.
