who has both, genuine, Milanese bands and can tell me if it’s normal for the black to bend to less of an arch than the silver? I got both used and believe the black is real but it seems a touch lighter, and at the bend it bends more than the silver one I have.

Darn I’ve only had the silver one. Maybe you can go compare it to a near by Apple store or Best Buy.

My nearest Apple store is 3 hours away and my Best Buy doesn’t have open box Milanese bands, or I would.

Maybe you got a couple of good fakes there. Are you sure they are authentic?
If I was sure I wouldn’t have asked the question lol. I’m surprised no one admits to having both, or at least the black, to show me the bend radius. :(

I noticed Apple has stoped displaying the leather loops and link bracelets in store. I think they might have also stopped displaying the Milanese loops. in fact the only loops I notice at both my local store and the new Apple campus store are the new cheaper sport loops.

My theory is they don’t work with AirPower so they are going to start phasing them out. Or at least not emphasize them in store where people might see them not “just work”

You would think Apple would put that little pop up charger like the magnetic charging dock has for the watch in the Airpower charger.
