Rumor has it Apple is spinning to get rid of its FineWoven iPhone cases and watch bands.Apple launched the cases and watch bands last fall as an eco-friendly alternative to its leather accessories; however, customers have complained that the material the accessories were made with was susceptible to collecting dirt and were easily scuffed, amongst other durability issues. The cases also cost the same as its previous leather line, making those durability issues a tough pill to swallow.Amazon has also added a “frequently returned” label to the cases on its site. In a review on the site one customer referred to the case as “the biggest waste of money in my life.”Now, one leaker on Twitter claims that Apple is ditching the line entirely with plans to move to another non-leather material for the line, 9to5Mac reports.

As for what material, we’ll likely find out later this year at the company’s traditional September event for the Apple Watch and iPhone. The iPhone 16 is expected to be announced at that event as well, and the event in September is typically where Apple chooses to show off the year’s new cases and watch bands as well as other accessories.

The iPhone 16 is rumored to have a larger 6.3″ display (6.9” for the Pro), a faster processor, an improved camera, and potentially a new Capture button for taking photos and videos on the fly.
