Bring on the Nostalgia: Introducing TinyPod for Your Apple Watch
Do you miss the classic iPod years since its discontinuation? TinyPod might be your perfect nostalgic fix. This clever accessory transforms your Apple Watch into a miniaturized version of Apple's iconic music player. Available as TinyPod and TinyPod Lite, each version offers unique features to enhance your Apple Watch experience.
The TinyPod mimics a vintage iPod look with a functioning scroll wheel. Inside, mechanical components sync the scroll wheel with your Apple Watch's digital crown. When you turn the wheel, it physically moves the crown, allowing navigation and volume control. TinyPod Lite, simpler in design, exposes the digital crown for traditional use, without the scroll wheel.
Although nostalgic in appearance, TinyPod doesn’t add any new software or features to your Apple Watch. The device aims to let you leave your iPhone behind, leveraging the Apple Watch's cellular capabilities. However, it doesn't offer the practicality of wearing your Apple Watch on a wrist—it instead transforms it into a hand-held gadget.
Available Sizes and Pricing:
- TinyPod comes in various sizes: 40/41mm, 44/45mm, and the 49mm of the Apple Watch Ultra. They cost $79.99 for the smaller sizes and $89.99 for the largest.
- The TinyPod Lite costs $29.99 for the smaller sizes and $39.99 for the 49mm Apple Watch Ultra.
Both versions are suitable for Apple Watch Series 4 or later. You can purchase them directly from the company’s website. Orders will begin shipping this summer and fall.
The creators highlight the exposed rear sensors of the Apple Watch’s health metrics, but the lack of straps means missing out on ongoing health tracking throughout the day. Yet, what the TinyPod lacks in practicality, it makes up for in delivering a punch of nostalgia, simplifying your connections, and reliving fond memories of one of history's best-selling music players.
In conclusion, TinyPod brings old-school charm to modern tech, transforming your Apple Watch into a nostalgic piece reminiscent of the beloved iPod. Whether for its aesthetic appeal or as a limited-use gadget for minimalist smartphone activities, TinyPod and TinyPod Lite offer unique ways to experience your Apple Watch.
