FineWoven Was a Bust; I Hope Apple Tries Vegan Leather Next
1 min read
Summary
Apple initially launched FineWoven as a replacement for its leather accessories, but it faced issues with durability and aesthetics, leading it to be discontinued
The silicone cases currently offered by Apple are not as durable or aesthetically pleasing as the FineWoven cases
A suitable alternative to animal leather would be vegan leather, which is more sustainable and can be derived from materials such as aloe vera
Apple has aimed to achieve carbon-neutral status by 2030, which coincides with the discontinuation of its leather products
Vegan leather cases for iPhones produced by third parties, such as Kindsuit and Woodcessories, are still available and offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional leather cases, but Apple should focus on developing its own line of vegan leather accessories.
This would help it achieve its carbon-neutral target and provide customers with a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable option for iPhone cases.
