There are oppositely polarised rings at the end of the strap to close it with enough strength. As per the tipster, this mechanism eliminates the need for traditional hooks or loops for attachment.

The Crossbody Strap is said to be an innovative accessory that provides functionality and versatility, allowing the user to attach it to their iPhone 17 cases and carry the handset across their body. Apart from the iPhone, Apple has reportedly made it in such a way that it is compatible with the purported AirPods Pro 3 as well.

The tipster suggests that the accessory is primarily built with woven nylon, similar to Apple's Sport Loop Bands for the Apple Watch. The tech giant is also speculated to introduce a silicon variant of the Crossbody Strap, which is softer to the touch and potentially provides more flexibility.

Users may also have the ability to personalise their iPhone 17 cases, with a variety of styles and a range of colours for the Crossbody Strap on offer.

The production of the Crossbody Strap is already underway, as per the tipster. Apple reportedly aims to ensure that the accessory is available immediately for the iPhone 17 series following its September 9 launch.
