At this point, you may as well get a powerpack for a mini and put it in one of these slings, you could have a crazy powerful machine in your "sock-et" sling thing here...
When the iPhone Air was just another huge phone...but thinner...smh. Apple should put up some page to check interest level in a smaller phone, and with enough interest, go manufacture it. If it is more expensive because economies of scale don't work out, but they create one that is small yet powerful, that's what I would buy at premium, because apparently compactness is a luxury.
And they say you can “create your own personalized color combination”. This is just literally just the pairing of the phone color and whatever color you pick for the bag. Who calls this a customized color combination?!
When I clicked the link, seeing it so high on the FP, I was 100% convinced they were finally re-releasing + rebranding the Mini.
Then I saw what it was, and was like “ah it’s an April Fools joke — but wait, it’s not April 1st”.
So now I can only assume people are upvoting it because it’s so ridiculous?
Are there people (on HN) that seriously think this is a good idea/are considering getting one of these hideous things?
You're literally describing my thought process, but I thought it was an older April 1st joke resurfacing.

> The design drew inspiration from the concept of “a piece of cloth”
I'm not convinced this wasn't an April Fools joke accidentally released early.

It's an out of season April fools joke.
Do you guys not have phones?
Checked the ULR twice
Suttle joke?

I'm still not convinced it isn't.
Let's wait until black friday and re-assess
I did the same. Nope, not a joke.
It reads like satire until you hit the part where it costs $229 and realize... nope, this is 100% real
Its showing as $149 for me.
Which still feels outrageous for what is basically a knitted scarf.
There are 2 different sizes.
There's a long and a short one. The long one costs $80 more than the short one. Jesus.
Whenever in doubt about your product’s acceptance, just jack up the price and keep a straight face.
:o
Surely it's satire! looks around in amazement
