Apple’s new iPhone Pocket is a stylish way to carry your iPhone
This time, woven into the fabric of a modern accessory
Fashion meets tech — again.
Apple’s latest creation isn’t a new iPhone, but something to wear it in. Announced today, the iPhone Pocket is a collaboration between Apple and Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE, reimagining the way we carry one of the world’s most recognizable devices.
While this is the first official partnership between the two brands, Miyake’s influence has long been stitched into Apple’s story.
The minimalist yet iconic uniform that is Steve Jobs’ black turtlenecks were custom-made by Miyake himself.
Back in the 1980s, Jobs even approached Miyake with an idea: to design a uniform for Apple employees. That plan never took off, but decades later, the spirit of collaboration finds new form — not in a shirt, but in a beautifully woven accessory.
The iPhone Pocket draws inspiration from Miyake’s Pleats Please and Homme Plissé lines, famed for its permanently pleated, wrinkle-free designs.
Made in Japan, and co-designed with the Apple Design Studio, each bag is crafted from a single piece of innovative 3D-knit fabric that’s both stretchy and feather-light. It’s designed to fit any iPhone and, as Apple notes, “other pocketable items.”
Available in two strap lengths, it can be worn as a shoulder bag (or slung on an arm) or crossbody. The color palette is distinctly Miyake: lemon (neon yellow), mandarin (bright orange), purple, pink, peacock (turquoise), sapphire (rich blue), cinnamon (brown), and black.
Longtime fans might also feel a nostalgic nod to the iPod Socks — a whimsical early-2000s Apple accessory that turned practicality into playful design.
The iPhone Pocket launches Friday, November 14, as a limited release, available online and in select Apple Stores.
In New York, it makes its debut in SoHo which is Apple’s outpost in the city’s fashion district. Prices start at $149.95 for the short strap and $229.95 for the long strap.

Marshall Heston 120 TV soundbar debuts in the Philippines
1st ever TV soundbar from Marshall
The Marshall Heston 120, the brand’s first ever TV soundbar, is now available in the Philippines for PhP 59,990.
Customers can purchase the new offering at select Digital Walker and open_source stores, as well as Marshall’s Lazada and Shopee stores.
The Heston 120 was announced in the United States last June and is priced at US$ 1,299. Delivering a colossal audio for both TV and music, the soundbar builds on Marshall’s 60 years of acoustic excellence and design.
It features Dolby Atmos and DTS-X to deliver immersive and spacious sound. Engineered for powerful, deep, and rich bass, it makes special effects sound more lifelike and with bigger impact.
The inside is fitted with 11 drivers facing different directions. That’s to throw sound out onto the area for the best experience.
Moreover, soundbar integrates with TVs with HDMI eARC or external devices through the HDMI Pass-through. It can also connect to music streaming services via Wi-Fi.
Meanwhile, turning Bluetooth on gives access to the latest LE-audio technology, including Auracast. The Heston 120 is likewise equipped with analogue RCA input for external music players.
Marshall signature style
Of course, the Heston 120 also features Marshall’s signature style, bringing rock ‘n’ roll flair to the TV-sound category.
From knurled metal knobs inspired by Marshall’s amp heritage right through to the wrapped leather trims and brushed metal panel, these bold elements have been added with precision, making Heston 120 a statement in any living room.
The soundbar is also repairable with replaceable parts, including the fret, end caps, drivers and circuit boards.
Mixing the best of old with the new, the analogue control panel with tactile audio settings is a playful yet functional nod.
The bass and treble can be instantly altered through the controls and it’s easy to save presets for quick access to a favorite playlist or radio station.
Furthermore, there’s a range of different sound modes to fit the moment, including Music, Movie, Night and Voice.
Alternatively, users can adjust sound from anywhere using the Marshall app. They can customize the EQ from the app as well, and adjust its volume.
After the Heston 120, Marshall is also going to launch the Heston 60 soundbar and Heston 200 subwoofer soon.
