Got a dirty iPhone 15 FineWoven case? There's still hope for it — a bit of detergent and some elbow grease might clean the grime (though Apple doesn’t recommend it)

A dirty iPhone 15 FineWoven case on a table, held by someone wearing rubber gloves.

The iPhone 15 FineWoven case has to go down as one of the least-well-received Apple products of all time. FineWoven was the only mistake in an otherwise spotless iPhone 15 line-up launch. Apple's best iPhones, the shiniest, fastest, most powerful mobile devices it had ever made, were paired with the all-new protective case that, while better for the environment than previous options thanks to its use of natural fibers, was an absolute grime magnet.

Expensive and poorly conceived, the FineWoven case’s natural fabric makeup meant that you’d be taking a glorious piece of luxury tech, and, after a few weeks of even gentle, careful use, would be like wrapping it in a grubby blanket. It was even prone to scratches with the lightest of scrapes. I look after my gadgetry as if they’re newborn babies, and even mine is starting to look worse for wear after a few month’s use.
