What the Crossbody Strap is

Apple’s Crossbody Strap is a woven lanyard designed so you can wear your iPhone across your body. The strap uses embedded magnets and stainless-steel sliders for quick, precise length adjustments while keeping both sides aligned. The strap material is made from 100% recycled PET yarns, and the adjustment range spans from 42.5 inches (1080 mm) to 81.9 inches (2080 mm). You attach it to the phone through strap connection points integrated into select Apple cases for the iPhone 17 lineup—there’s no direct magnetic attachment to the phone itself.

How it attaches (important)

  • The strap connects by two physical anchor points built into compatible cases at the bottom edge.
  • The magnets are for length adjustment and strap alignment only; they do not secure the phone.
  • To use the strap, you need a case with these purpose-built connection points.

The Crossbody Strap is priced at $59 and offered in ten colors designed to coordinate with Apple’s current case palette: Neon Yellow, Light Blue, Blue, Purple, Sienna, Orange, Tan, Green, Light Grey, and Black.

Will it work with older iPhones?

Apple has not announced strap-ready cases for prior-generation iPhones. The Crossbody Strap is described as designed for select Apple cases, and at launch those cases are for the iPhone 17 lineup. If you use an earlier iPhone, there is no Apple case with the required anchor points, so there is no official path to use the strap with older models.

Can custom or third‑party cases support it?

Apple hasn’t published a public hardware specification for the strap anchors. In practice, the strap connects through two case-integrated attachment points near the bottom edge, so third‑party case makers could design compatible anchor points. A few design considerations if you manufacture or commission a strap-ready case:

  • Anchor strength: Reinforce the lower frame so the case can support dynamic loads (walking, running, swings) without deforming or cracking.
  • Geometry and clearances: Ensure the openings and internal path accommodate the strap ends and any sliding hardware without rubbing or fraying.
  • Device acoustics and ports: Do not obstruct the bottom microphones, speakers, or the USB‑C port; maintain adequate cutouts.
  • Edge integrity: Distribute loads into the case perimeter rather than a thin backplate to avoid stress concentration.
  • Cycle and drop testing: Validate with repeated load cycles and common-use impacts while suspended by the strap.

Note: Only Apple’s own strap‑ready cases are explicitly listed as compatible. There is no public “works with” certification specific to the Crossbody Strap at this time.

How to choose and set it up

  • Select a strap‑ready Apple case for your iPhone 17 model (e.g., TechWoven for Pro, or the iPhone Air Case/Bumper for iPhone Air).
  • Attach the strap to the two connection points at the bottom of the case.
  • Adjust the length using the stainless‑steel sliders; the embedded magnets keep both sides aligned as you fine‑tune the fit.
  • Wear crossbody or over the shoulder. If you’re in crowded areas, consider keeping the strap under a jacket or across the front of your torso.

Where to buy and how to confirm compatibility

  • Crossbody Strap: details, colors, and current availability are on the Apple Store product page.
  • Case product pages list strap compatibility where applicable: TechWoven Case for iPhone 17 Pro (link), iPhone Air Case with MagSafe (link), and iPhone 17 Air Bumper Case (link).

Key takeaways: Apple’s Crossbody Strap attaches physically to strap-ready Apple cases, not magnetically to the phone. At launch, support is centered on the iPhone 17 family through specific Apple cases with dual anchor points. Older iPhones don’t have Apple cases with these anchors, and third‑party case support would depend on the case maker’s mechanical design.
