Apple's FineWoven iPhone Cases Dubbed Junk, Plagued by Durability Issues
-
FineWoven cases by Apple are being described as "junk" and poorly made by a majority of users in multiple social media polls, with complaints of peeling edges, scratches, and discoloration
-
WSJ columnist Joanna Stern shared photos of her scratched and peeling case after 5 months, comparing it to an old CD and rotten banana
-
Apple promoted the $59 FineWoven cases as eco-friendly and durable when launched with iPhone 15 last fall, but durability issues became quickly apparent
-
Multiple major retailers like Best Buy, Target and Walmart stopped carrying the cases just months after launch
-
Many readers and Apple analysts described the cases as a failure and huge "swing and miss" from Apple compared to their previous leather cases
