iFixit Teardown Reveals the Secrets of Apple’s FineWoven Fabric Case for iPhone 15

Specialists iFixit decided to check what the new FineWoven fabric case, which Apple released specifically for the iPhone 15, consists of.

Using a digital microscope, iFixit viewed the FineWoven fabric at 52x and 490x magnifications, confirming that it was indeed made up of bundles of tightly woven fibers. Each fiber is much smaller than a strand of hair—about 6 microns thick.

Groups of individual fibers make up threads about 150 microns thick. When FineWoven fabric is scratched, the fibers do not break, but the scratch causes the affected fibers to reflect light. This means that a visual trace will remain. Items in your pocket can also leave their mark.

Since the FineWoven cover is made of fabric, it got dirty from hot sauce and oil, although it was able to resist coffee. iFixit couldn’t get rid of the oil and hot sauce stains.

The experts also cut open the case to look at the inside: the fabric is on the outside, and the inside is gray foam, a hard plastic sheet, a MagSafe block, white foam, another hard plastic sheet and an inner layer of FineWoven fabric. All layers are thin, and the fabric itself has a thickness of 0.17 mm.
