NEWS – A couple of days ago, I told you about a power bank that looks like a classic beeper from the 90s, and today I want to continue the retro theme with the tinyPod case that transforms your Apple Watch into something that will remind you of the iconic iPod. But it’s so much more than that. It turns an Apple Watch (with cellular capability) into a standalone device, allowing you to leave your iPhone at home while still having access to essential functions.
One of the standout features of the tinyPod is its physical scroll wheel. For those of us who still remember the satisfying click of the original iPod’s wheel, this will be a fun way to get that back.
Loaded up with your favorite tunes, podcasts, and audiobooks and paired with your AirPods, the tinyPod turns your Apple Watch into a dedicated music player.
But it’s not just about music. The tinyPod gives you a new way to interact with the essential functions of your Apple Watch, including Phone calls, Messaging, Weather, News, Voice memos, Photos, Calendar, Maps, Calculator, Timer, and Siri integration. It even supports Apple Pay, allowing you to make payments or share contact details with a simple tap.
One potential drawback is battery life, but the tinyPod has a clever solution. By turning off wrist detection, you can extend the battery life significantly, potentially getting multiple days of use.
The tinyPod is available in two versions. There’s the full-featured version with the scroll wheel, which is priced at $79.99 – $89.99, and there is a tinyPod Lite, which is a minimalist option without the scroll wheel and available for just $29.99 – $39.99. Both versions are compatible with Apple Watch models Series 4 through 9, SE, and even the Ultra models. Head over to thetinypod.com for more details and to order.
