Apple announced a new iPhone carrying case called the iPhone Pocket, priced at £219.95.
The product faced online mockery for its high price and resemblance to a 'cut-up sock'.
The accessory is a limited edition collaboration with Japanese fashion label Issey Miyake.
Critics questioned the design's practicality, citing lack of security features like a zip.
Some defended the price, attributing it to the luxury collaboration and Apple's branding.
Analysts suggest the pricing reflects form, branding, and exclusivity rather than function.
