"Alongside the launch of the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and Air in September, Apple also introduced its first crossbody strap, which allows you to wear your iPhone similar to how you'd carry a small shoulder bag, with the strap lying diagonally across your body. The $59 accessory so far has received mixed reviews, with some saying it's useful and convenient, while others have decided it's definitely not an accessory they'd like to use."
"At first glance, the crossbody strap may look like a typical lanyard, but Apple, of course, has made some unique choices to differentiate its strap from the many others already available on the market. The accessory is made with recycled PET yarns (an eco-friendly polyester derived from recycled plastics), which give the woven strap more of heft and weight than a flimsier fabric."
Apple launched a crossbody strap for iPhone alongside the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and Air, designed to let users wear the phone like a small shoulder bag with a diagonal strap. The $59 accessory has received mixed reactions, praised for convenience and criticized by some who dislike its look or feel. Some observers debate whether the strap increases theft risk by advertising a valuable device or deters opportunistic grabs because it would require cutting. The strap suits travel and hands-free use in active professions but can rub uncomfortably against neck and shoulder and makes the phone look odd when removed. The woven strap uses recycled PET yarns and contains embedded flexible magnets and stainless steel sliders for alignment and length adjustment.
