Part homage to classic iPods, part phone replacement, the tinyPod turns the Apple Watch into a pocketable gadget. Leveraging watchOS and the Watch’s wireless connectivity, it provides all the core functions of a phone — calls, texts, maps, wireless payments, and audio — without the temptation of full-blown social media and other time-wasting apps. Hidden, miniaturized components allow for navigation of the Watch’s interface and features using the scroll wheel, with pass-through openings for the speaker and microphone, an open back for seamless charging, and tactile buttons on the side. For those looking for an even more minimalist experience, there’s a “lite” version that forgoes with scroll wheel for openings that offer access to the digital crown.
