Interesting to see whether this will come as a forced update in order to ensure compliance.

My wife and I have some magnetic bands. Anyone else observe them loosening over the day until they're almost falling off?

Sounds like the magnets are not strong enough.

Do people really expect something made from recycled plastic to be durable. Recycled plastic isn’t as good as virgin plastic.

I tried to look it up. „As good“ apparently depends on the choice of specific material properties and domain you ar interested in. I found this, e.g.: https://www.cetjournal.it/cet/22/94/220.pdf . Generally speaking, the durability depends on the quality of the recycled material and the manufacturing process, according to other sources. So what you say may be true, inarticulate thinking about using the cover years. Time will tell, I suppose. I give Apple credit for going all in regarding sustainable. Having said that, I am curious whether the replacement material will be adequate; and secondly, I have no idea whether stepping away from leather is actually „more sustainable“. I do not imagine that somewhere animals are being bred and slaughtered just for the leather that went into the production of cases and wrist bands; in other words: as long as there is meat, there will be leather. also, I do not know about the footprints of the manufacturing process for both materials. Not to mention microplastics. Hm

Wait until she sues Apple for it.

I would not trust something your life (or your customers’ lives) could depend upon to someone as unreliable as a guy that doesn’t pay bills for toilet paper. Or rent. Or cares about the rules for taking down a street sign. Or establishing a new one. Or treating people with respect, or like they actually mean something. Just sayin’.
