A report from Slashdot!
It appears that Apple has quietly discontinued the FineWoven brand, which was introduced as a replacement for leather cases but received negative feedback due to its tendency to show visible wear and tear, pick up lint, and appear dirty quickly.
The article states that Apple stopped offering FineWoven cases for iPhone 15 models on their website, and it's likely that they won't be releasing new FineWoven cases for the upcoming iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro either. This decision comes after a year of controversy surrounding the material's performance.
It seems like Apple is looking to move away from FineWoven and focus on other case materials or designs. The article doesn't mention what might have caused this change, but it's likely that customer feedback played a significant role in the decision.
What do you think about this news? Are you surprised that Apple would discontinue FineWoven so quickly, or do you think they made the right call?
