The account “Uncle Pan” on Chinese platform Weibo today shared an image that suggests the Crossbody Strap will be available in up to 10 color options.

The lanyard would let you “wear” your iPhone around your neck, which is an increasingly popular trend due to the rise of smartphone pickpocketing in major cities.
