Apple Watch bands and iPhone cases come in new spring colors

Well, I see late stage capitalism continues apace. There are more releases of $349 Hermes bands--13 new ones just for spring!--than there are for regular Apple bands. But I dunno--maybe when a wrist-sized ring of knitted, stretchy fabric costs $99, the Hermes leather bands ain't such a bad deal after all, lol.

There do not appear to be any new FineWoven Apple Watch bands or iPhone cases at this time.

Given reports of how those products age, I am completely un-surprised by this particular lack.

They aren't leather. Apple stopped selling leather based products in September, that included the Hermes bands on the Apple Store. I think Hermes still makes and sells leather bands but you have to buy them elsewhere.

I came here to look for the same detail.

Apple has got to have millions of these cases gathering dust somewhere. I predict a sale on Woot in the near future to offload them.

I don’t doubt other people’s experiences with fine woven cases but mine has been really good. It looks almost as good as the day I got it. Has certainly held up that the silicone one’s I used to get.
