How strong is Apple Crossbody Strap against phone snatching?

[chonkvandelay]

Hey everyone,
I’m considering getting Apple’s new Crossbody Strap, but I have a quick question.

How durable is this thing actually?
I couldn’t find any real videos showing how strong it is.

In places like London, phone snatching is pretty common, so I’m curious whether a hard pull would snap the strap or if it’s solid enough to hold up. Has anyone tested it or seen any real-world feedback?

Thanks!

I'm also considering getting one.

Did you buy one in the end?

I guess its a balance between being sturdy enough and breaking at some point to prevent someone getting dragged along if its gets caught on something. I would also imagine if the snatch is strong enough the weak point would be the case where the loops fix
