Apple Rumored to Release Crossbody Strap for iPhone 17
With just over a week until Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 launch on 9 September, new leaks suggest that the tech giant has a surprise accessory up its sleeve.
Rumors indicate that Apple will be introducing a crossbody strap designed to complement the upcoming iPhone 17 TechWoven cases. The strap, made of woven nylon with a silicone option also available, will feature a secure magnetic attachment to the phone case.
According to leaked images on Majin Bu’s website, the crossbody straps will be offered in various colors including black, navy, mauve, mint green, yellow, and brown.

These leaks come from Majin Bu, who has provided partial photographs and illustrations of the accessory on their website. While the accuracy of Bu’s leaks has been mixed in the past, rumors this close to a launch event tend to hold more weight.
Additionally, MacRumors has tied this leak to another showing a render of an iPhone 17 Pro case with cutouts for a lanyard or strap, adding credibility to the crossbody strap rumor.

The concept of a crossbody strap for the iPhone seems fitting for Apple’s style-conscious audience. While it offers convenience and a fashion statement, the magnetic attachment raises concerns about the security of the device.
Crossbody holders typically provide practicality by keeping the phone easily accessible and secure. However, traditional clip-on cases offer more protection compared to magnetic attachments, which may not prevent theft or accidental drops.
Whether the crossbody strap will be a successful accessory remains to be seen, pending its official launch. Stay tuned for more updates on Apple’s upcoming products and the iPhone 17 lineup.
