NEW APPLE INVENTION
What if you could "comfortably wear your iphone HANDS FREE"? Apple got you covered!

Introducing the brand new CROSSBODY STRAP. For only $99 (plus tax) you can have the privilege of buying the brand new strap.

they unironically did this because of increased concerns over pickpocketing/snatching on social media where groups steal phones to ship over to china where they'll be dismantled for parts
only this time you're gonna get dragged by the neck when someone attempts to steal your phone lmao

You could make that by tapping holes in a phone case and choosing your own cord. Save yourself $90.

now pickpocketers will just have an extra step: remove the phone from the case.

They can probably do this in less than 1 second, and since the phone isn't in your pocket, you're even less likely to feel it

pockets are often occluded by tool belts or harnesses and the holster itself is usually hard walled, padded, or both. it's also slightly more accessible. same reason you dont keep a gun in your pocket, you get a holster

I have a quite important and well paying job and many people use third party phone straps for their iphones.

I can see professional people buying this, and it's only 59 bucks, that's basically pocket change if you have a job.

Okay, isn't it being out in the open just make it even easier to grab though? It's basically just a glorified purse minus the purse. At least with pockets there's friction. Assuming you can fit that thing in anything other than baggy cargo pants or a backpack.
