Apple’s FineWoven cases, the leather-free option for the iPhone 15 lineup, have reportedly been canceled due to low demand. However, a new rumor suggests that Apple may release one final batch of FineWoven cases for the current season, potentially introducing new color options.
Leaker Kosutami, who initially reported the cancellation, claims that Apple may still produce FineWoven cases for one more season. This rumor has not been verified, but Kosutami emphasizes that if true, it would only be for the current season.
It is unlikely that Apple will invest in redesigning FineWoven cases to fit the upcoming iPhone 16 range, making it unclear whether this rumor holds any weight. Additionally, the FineWoven material has been criticized for its poor stain resistance and durability, further casting doubt on the possibility of a renewed production run.
Despite these concerns, it’s worth noting that Kosutami was correct in September 2023 when they reported on Apple’s launch of FineWoven as a replacement for leather. If Apple has indeed committed resources to new colors, the possibility of a final release remains open.
