Google copies incredibly expensive iPhone 17 accessories.

Google has borrowed the idea of ​​a new accessory that Apple introduced for the iPhone 17 to draw attention from the tech community.

Last week, after Apple officially launched the iPhone 17 series, the company also introduced several attractive accessories for the new product line. Among these, the most notable is the "crossbody strap" accessory, which allows users to wear their phone around their neck like a fanny pack. Interestingly, this strap is priced at nearly 1.7 million VND on the Apple Store Vietnam website.

While users are still reacting to the high price of the iPhone 17's crossbody strap, Google has shown interest in the idea by launching a new accessory called the Rope Wristlet. It's a simple accessory designed to keep the phone secure. The product consists of a polyester strap and a D-shaped pad to protect the phone from drops. Unlike Apple's crossbody strap, Google's version is more compact and can be worn on the wrist.

Google accessories are almost 10 times cheaper.

But there's a difference with Google's strap: the price. While Apple's crossbody strap feels premium with recycled materials, a magnetic clasp, and a price tag of nearly 1.7 million VND, Google only charges users around $7 (approximately 185,000 VND).

Google's product comes in three colors: Black/Gray, Blue/Purple, and Green/Yellow , and is designed to be compatible with most phones that have cases, not just Pixel phones. Currently, the Rope Wristlet is not available for purchase, but users can sign up to receive notifications when the product launches.

Both Apple and Google recognize that consumers are looking for solutions to keep their phones safe. Whether it's to prevent drops or provide quick access to the device, a simple lanyard is a truly useful tool. It's interesting that Google chose this time to introduce its product, especially since the Pixel 10 line has just been announced and is significantly cheaper than its Apple counterpart.
