Apple’s $59 fake-suede ‘FineWoven’ iPhone case is its biggest dud of 2023

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:58:48 GMT

By Jessica Nix | BloombergWhen Apple Inc. introduced a new material for phone cases and watchbands earlier this month, the company heralded it as a groundbreaking alternative to leather with “subtle luster and a soft, suede-like feel.”Consumers and reviewers haven’t seen it that way. The fabric, which Apple calls FineWoven, has been panned for being prone to scratches and stains — with an almost-slippery feel that’s off-putting to some. What began as a high-minded effort to make Apple’s products carbon neutral is now threatening to be one of the company’s biggest misfires of 2023.Apple describes FineWoven as an all-new textile that’s made from 68% post-consumer recycled material. It’s part of a push to phase out leather throughout its product line, including iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands, in a step toward being carbon neutral across the company’s entire global operations.But FineWoven has yet to clear its first hurdle: Winning over the Apple fanatics and early adopters who snap...

Who can hang with the 49ers in the NFC? It’s Philly and the pretenders

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:58:48 GMT

Maybe I’m not buying the whole 17-0 regular season thing, but it’s pretty clear through three weeks the 49ers are the class of the NFC and at worst co-favorites to play in Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas.They’ve scored 30 points in three consecutive games and are a little miffed it hasn’t been more. Their stars, of which there are many, have played like stars. The only injury of note, to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, shouldn’t be an issue this week when the 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals at Levi’s Stadium.While an NFL season doesn’t allow for clear sailing to a conference title game, the 49ers have made good on just about every positive preseason prognostication which came their way.The general public is even apparently becoming dimly aware that Brock Purdy is something more than an undersized game-manager at quarterback.With that in mind, here’s a look at how the NFC teams currently over .500 line up heading into Week 4, and...

A few helpful reminders on the postseason selection process before we plunge into the latest Pac-12 bowl forecast:— The Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl will host the College Football Playoff semifinals, leaving the Pac-12 champion to participate in the Fiesta, Peach or Cotton bowls unless it qualifies for the CFP.— The Pac-12 is contractually tied to seven games: the New Year’s Six, Alamo, Las Vegas, Holiday, Sun, LA and Independence bowls.— The Alamo, Las Vegas and Holiday bowls can jump one team in favor of another as long as there is no more than a one-game difference in conference record. The second-tier bowls (Sun, LA and Independence) must select teams in order of conference record.The bowl projections will be published in this space each Tuesday.College Football Playoff/Sugar BowlTeam: WashingtonComment: No two-loss team has ever reached the playoff, and the Pac-12 probably won’t be the conference to change the paradigm. Nor has any Pac-12 team gone undefeated in league play i...
