- Leaked photos seem to show a crossbody -rem product
- The Lanyard-like device is rumored to release next to the iPhone 17
- It can contradict previous iPhone 17 leaks, which raises some awkward questions
Last week, an iPhone 17 packaging leak fell a tip about a non -released “Crossbody Strap”, which triggered questions about what exactly this mysterious product could be. Now a delicious revealed images showing what they claim is the Crossbody strap, but the fresh pictures have raised a whole new set of questions in their wake.
The images are included in a new blog post by Prolific Leaker Majin BU. They depict a strap of Lanyard type designed to squeeze on an iPhone and hold it across your body. They suggest that the strap will be made of a material of nylon type that is similar to what is found on the sports loop band on the Apple Watch, and BU says a silicone version may also be available.
The Crossbody -Remmen is apparently magnetic along the entire length, and these magnets are used to safely close the ends of the strap, as bu says “[eliminates] the need for traditional hooks or loops. “It must be compatible with the iPhone 17 cases, according to BU, and potentially also AirPods Pro 3.
However, it is the ends of the strap that cause some confusion. The images posted on the bus site show a strap that has a uniform thickness all the way along its length. Still, the thickness seems to be significantly wider than lanyard cuts shown on leaked iPhone 17 case pictures provided by – you guessed it – Majin Bu. Therefore, it seems that Bus Latest Crossbody Strap Post is actually contradicting their previous leaks, which is never a good look.
More questions than answers

So what could be done here? There are a few options. The most straightforward is that one or more of BU’s leaks are inaccurate as it is difficult to squarage the different images at the moment.
Alternatively, Crossbody lacks a key component. The pictures show two holes at the end of each strap – maybe this is where a thinner thread can be attached, which then runs through the iPhone case’s lanyard holes. Still, it raises questions in itself: If this thread exists, why didn’t bu it? And will such a thin thread be strong enough to support an iPhone’s weight, especially if pulled?
These unanswered questions combined with bus hit-and-miss record when it comes to Apple leaks mean we have to take the claims with a dose of skepticism. Apple is ready to reveal the iPhone 17 at an event on September 9, and we expect a response to this mystery then. It could finally reveal how – or if – bus seemingly conflicting leaks can be united.
