Apple May Stop Producing MagSafe Case For iPhone 15 Series
Apple may discontinue the popular Leather MagSafe case with the launch of the iPhone 15 series for unknown reasons, according to 9to5Mac and industry analysts.
The iconic Saddle Brown iPhone case and others are a favorite among many, offering a premium experience with a microfiber lining, touch keys, but of course, it comes at a high price. An iPhone 14 Pro leather case with MagSafe costs Rs 5,900 in India, and despite the high price, demand for leather cases has remained strong.
Apple is known for its minimalist design, which is also reflected in its accessories and especially in its iPhone cases. A leather case – which develops a natural patina over time – is a popular choice for many iPhone users because it adds personality.
Apple redesigned iPhone cases for the iPhone 12 series when it announced MagSafe support for iPhones, and since then all iPhone leather cases for the iPhone 12 and later have MagSafe magnets.
It’s unclear why Apple might have discontinued the leather iPhone case, but if we were to guess, it would be because of the environmental aspects of things.
The leather as a material comes from the skin of cattle, and this is the reason why Apple might end the leather case is unclear, but it is likely due to environmental reasons. The leather is made from cattle hide, which is a material with more environmental impact than, for example, fabric-based cases, such as the Google Pixel cases. Given Apple’s goal to be 100% carbon neutral for its supply chain and products by 2030, this may be true.
