Apple could fix one of the biggest blunders it made in recent years — and offer a FineWoven replacement that's actually durable.

FineWoven was terrible, and a leaker with a very mixed track record says that there is a new material that will replace it in iPhone 17 cases.

Apple is planning to launch a new "TechWoven" line of cases for the iPhone 17 series, according to a leaker known as "Majin Bu."

The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models all appear to have cases, according to the leak. Even though only the iPhone 17 Pro Max model cases are shown off in these leaked photos.

Apple rumoured to introduce new TechWoven cases for the iPhone 17 series. These are said to offer improved durability and impact resistance.

It’s been a while since Apple dropped leather and replaced it with FineWoven — only to mostly drop FineWoven over customer feedback. Now leaker Majin Bu says Apple has yet another leather alternative ready to go for the iPhone 17 case lineup.

According to a leak from China, Apple is once again working on vegan leather. This time, it is said to be more durable than the old "fine fabric".
