Apple has faced a wave of online mockery following its announcement of a new carrying case for its iPhone range.
The US tech giant was ridiculed after it revealed the iPhone Pocket on Tuesday would retail for $229.95 (£175), despite it being little more than a novel way to carry a mobile device.
Many took aim at the high price online, while others made fun of its striking likeness to a piece of everyday knitted footwear - with one X user calling it "$230 for a cut up sock".
And the popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee said it was a "litmus test" for fans who "buy or defend anything Apple releases".
In a press release, Apple said the brightly-coloured accessory was part of a limited edition range created in collaboration with the Japanese fashion label Issey Miyake.
