After today’s Apple Event, the company has finally decided to get rid of their much hated FineWoven cases. For better or for worse, you won’t be able to buy a FineWoven case for your iPhone 16.
Apple introduced FineWoven last year with the iPhone 15 lineup, serving as a new environmentally friendly alternative to leather. People were skeptical when Apple announced it, and their skepticism was proven right once the cases were available.
The cases scratched easily, didn’t hold up well, and ultimately lacked the feeling of a premium product, despite demanding a $59 price tag.
However, Apple did not showcase FineWoven cases again in today’s keynote, instead only keeping around their Clear and Silicone cases.

Just make fake leather cases. Vegans are gonna be happy and the rest of us too as long as it has the fit and comfort of the original leather cases.
Interestingly enough, the FineWoven wallet still seems to be around, for $59.
