iPhone cross-strap costs more than 1.6 million VND: Can it be cut in the blink of an eye?

Still a somewhat expensive accessory product, the new iPhone strap is still very Apple-esque with its amazing simplicity but also causes controversy.

According to Apple, the crossbody strap is designed to attach to select Apple cases for convenient, hands-free iPhone wearing. Crafted from 100% recycled PET, the strap is a woven fabric.

The flexible integrated magnet with stainless steel sliding mechanism allows the user to adjust the length to fit, while keeping both straps securely aligned and neat. The maximum strap length is 2,080 mm, the minimum is 1,080 mm.

Crossbody strap designed for Apple cases on iPhone 17, iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max.

Available in 10 colors that match the back of many iPhone models, the strap costs VND 1,668,000 (including tax and free shipping).

This thread has created heated discussions on technology forums.

According to Apple, the strap is made from recycled PET fiber. CNET analyzed that a sharp knife can cut the strap as easily as "using a hot knife to cut butter" . The decision to suspend a thousand-dollar device on a strip of non-cut-resistant plastic may cause users to worry.

Several people on Reddit have reported that their crossbody bags and wallets have been stolen because someone cut the strap and ran or drove away, so the same could happen with a strap. Of course, the same goes for snatching a phone from someone’s hand. But if you’re wearing your iPhone as a bag, you’re making it obvious that you have an iPhone, and that’s a higher risk.

Furthermore, if the iPhone is tied with a strap, users may be more subjective to external forces and impacts during use, causing unwanted damage.
