‘iPhone’ made using Apple Watch: Here’s how this Rs 6,600 case can create a tiny Apple iPhone from your smartwatch
The iPhone is undoubtedly the most popular Apple device ever made, and it has helped the tech giant become one of the most valuable companies in the world. Although Apple releases a new iPhone model every year, there have been no major changes in terms of design. Over the past few years, a number of design companies have produced cases that add functionality to Apple products. One such case for the Apple Watch that turns into a mini ‘iPhone’ has now been introduced by a company called TinyPods.
How much does the new TinyPods Apple Watch case cost?
The TinyPods case for the Apple Watch costs around Rs 6,600 ($79). Made of silicone, the Apple Watch case has a built-in scroll wheel, just like on the old iPods, that cleverly interacts with the smartwatch’s Digital Crown. It lets you navigate through the Apple Watch interface.

Using this new case, you can use the cellular version of your Apple Watch as a miniature standalone phone. The potential functionality of this case with the cellular version could also free you from the need to carry an iPhone, although the practical use of it is questionable.
It’s worth noting that turning off wrist detection is necessary when using the TinyPod. For those who don’t know, wrist detection is designed to keep the Apple Watch from locking when it’s in contact with your skin. While the case extends battery life, it does mean that security features like Apple Pay and Name Drop will require passcode authentication.

The case leaves the back of your Apple Watch exposed, ensuring compatibility with standard Apple Watch charging docks for convenient recharging.
