Apple has done it again. Just when you thought you’d seen every possible iPhone accessory, they’ve launched a Crossbody Strap and it costs Rs 5,900. That’s right. Almost the same price as a brand-new entry-level smartphone. A strap. For your phone.
It’s designed to clip onto selected Apple cases so you can carry your iPhone hands-free. Made from 100% recycled PET yarns, it’s smooth, light, and narrow, draping comfortably across your body. Apple even added flexible magnets and a stainless steel sliding mechanism so you can adjust the length perfectly and keep the straps neatly aligned. Fancy, right?
The strap stretches from 108 cm (about 42 inches) up to 208 cm (82 inches), so it fits most body types. And what do you get in the box? Just the strap. No extra gadgets, no chargers, nothing else.
Some will see it as a clever, stylish solution to carrying their phone around. Others might pause and think, “Wait, I could buy a phone for that price.” Either way, Apple has once again taken something simple and turned it into a premium statement piece. A`nd hey, if nothing else, it’s guaranteed to get people talking… and maybe laughing a little.
