Seeing all the nerd brains of HN implode trying to understand this. This is what happens when the tech and fashion worlds overlap for a moment.

No one can convince me a $229 sock to hold your phone is comprehensible to the average person, nerd brain be damned
my conclusion is that designer fashion is not for average people
see also apple watch hermes $500 watch straps (https://www.apple.com/shop/watch/bands/apple-watch-herm%C3%A...)
or (non-apple) LV purses, $5000+ https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/women/handbags/all-handba...
or LV phone strap, "Contact Us" https://eu.louisvuitton.com/eng-e1/products/monogram-phone-s...
These are normal items, just expensive
it's just status symbol
some rich people like it
some rich people think it's dumb and targeted at those with ego issues
A $10 fanny pack from Uniqlo or H&M looks better than this thing and is also more practical (can carry other stuff, keys, wallet, etc)

I found the reddit ManyBaggers recently and there is a cottage industry of high-end bags that seem incredibly made for the price that are in no way luxury products.
You mean 99% of the world who scoffs at wasting money on this? Maybe it’s the fashion world at odds with literally anyone else
No, I am not trying to "understand this". I don't give Apple enough credit to try to understand it.
This thing is just a "Balenciaga": trash disguised as luxury.
