Apple is unveiling the iPhone 17 family tomorrow, and ahead of that we’ve recently heard that it would also release a magnetic Crossbody Strap. At the end of August, this was pictured in some renders, and today we get to see two live images of the upcoming Crossbody Strap, thanks to a tipster over on X.
However, this might not be what the previous leak described. That report mentioned that the strap would itself go into the special holes in Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 cases, and then would secure using magnets.

The strap that leaked today might still have magnets, but it’s clearly using a textile loop that will go into the holes in the case itself. So it’s unclear if Apple plans on releasing two separate types of Crossbody straps, or if there was some confusion in the earlier leak.
Of course, only time will tell, and luckily we only have about 24 hours left to wait and see what the truth really is.
