The probes began with a tweet from WSJ journalist Joanna Stern, who said her own FineWoven iPhone 15 Pro case soon began to peel at the edges, the back was scratched like an old CD, and it was brown like a rotten banana.
Apple made a big green deal with its FineWoven cases when it announced them alongside the iPhone 15 models last year. The company said FineWoven is a new, elegant and durable fabric made from 68% post-consumer recycled content.
Apple's FineWoven case is considered a poor quality product.
Stern says she’s not alone, citing reviews on Best Buy and Amazon that say the case is the worst Apple product ever made. Despite being made from recycled materials, the case’s short lifespan means it’s even less environmentally friendly than its predecessor.
9to5Mac poll respondents came to a similar conclusion, with 70% saying the case did not meet expected standards. Many suggested that Apple should stop selling the FineWoven case and refund those who purchased it.
Retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have all stopped carrying Apple's FineWoven cases since last November.
