Apple wants to charge $150 for this sock. My premium fair-trade version, woven using traditional indigenous practices from sustainably-grown biodegradable materials, blessed via an aboriginal ritual, complete with an autographed certificate of authenticity from a rural craftsperson who subsequently follows you on social media, will cost $200. Joke's on Apple.

Apple selling this validates the idea. Those traditional crafts people now have a bigger market to sell their unique variations into.

This Apple product is not a phone strap and those Amazon products are not Apple products
