Apple Rumored to Phase Out Silicone Accessories in Eco-Friendly Shift

Apple may gradually discontinue its lineup of silicone accessories, including iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands, in favor of more eco-friendly materials. The transition is expected to be gradual, with existing models not being refreshed with new color options. This move aligns with Apple's commitment to environmental sustainability. The company is rumored to introduce a new material called "FineWoven" for premium iPhone cases and a new Apple Watch band style featuring a magnetic clasp design. The iPhone 15 event, where these announcements are expected, will take place on September 12.
