傳蘋果或不再供應皮革配件，愛馬仕皮革錶帶一折賣員工

蘋果 iPhone 15 保護殼改用 FineWoven 編織物料取代皮革保護殼，近日再有消息表示蘋果或全面停產皮革錶帶。Mark Gurman 日前在 X 發文表示新 Apple Watch Series 6 也不會有皮革錶帶。

Mark Gurman 日前 X 發文轉貼 iPhone 15 官方非皮革材質手機殼，並表示可預期蘋果全線下架皮革產品，Apple Watch Series 9 智慧手錶也不會再提供皮革材質錶帶。Mark Gurman 表示不肯定新政策會否影響蘋果與愛馬仕（Hermès）的合作，但他認為有很大機率蘋果會維持與愛馬仕的關係。

A sample/replica of the new leather-free iPhone 15 case. I am expecting Apple to begin moving away from leather on its Apple Watch bands as well, but unclear how this impacts the Hermes partnership (I would assume it does not). https://t.co/dUA36mX2BL

Mark Gurman 之後補充，有消息指蘋果 8 月開始以一折價格將愛馬仕皮革配件賣給員工。Mark Gurman 說蘋果仍在出清愛馬仕皮革配件庫存。

Update on that assumption: I’m told that Apple last month started offering employees its Hermes leather accessories (and leather link bands) at up to 90% off. Clearly some inventory clearing going on. The internal deal continues but everything is out of stock. https://t.co/fBrLlTY9kC
