Apple does not offer its own AirPods Pro 2 lanyard, but it has offered various third-party options through its online store.The same would likely apply for iPhone 17 lanyards: third-party and sold separately.In addition, the fifth-generation iPod touch had a built-in mechanism for attaching a lanyard too, without even needing a case."DuanRui" often relays content that originates on Chinese social media platform Weibo. As always, this is just a rumor, with nothing confirmed yet.Related Roundups: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 ProTag: DuanRuiRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "Apple's iPhone 17 Cases Again Rumored to Work With Lanyard" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
