TinyPod -- a case for the Watch

Seems silly at first, but is actually a clever idea for a minimalist phone.

I see the appeal, but I like my AW because I donā€™t have to fish it out of my pocket, and if itā€™s not on your wrist it canā€™t track health and exercise. Itā€™s an interesting idea, but definitely not for me.

Agree about the AW: the iPod never disappeared, it just became the Apple Watch and now lives on my wrist instead of my pocket. With 64GB storage, thatā€™s more than enough room for me to carry music, podcasts, etc. on days that I donā€™t feel like keeping an iPhone on me at all times.

I agree! I have a cellular model, and itā€™s very freeing. I had to pick up my daughter today, and when I got in the car I noticed I didnā€™t have my phone. I thought about going in to get it, then realized I didnā€™t need it. I could still make and receive calls and texts, check my calendar, etc.

The bump to 64gb in the Series 9 and Ultra 2 is a nice upgrade, and with cellular I can even listen to things I havenā€™t downloaded ahead of time.

Cellular for me really is the killer feature. During the pandemic, my AW became an integral part of my daily walks, I was able to stream podcasts and take calls while I was getting time away from being stuck indoors all day with my phone :slight_smile:

I may do with an Ultra if there isnā€™t a mini iPhone within a couple more years.

Iā€™m getting one. I have been using my Apple Watch as a Cell Phone Alternative for over a year now but I am partial to ā€œrealā€ watches. This is a perfect way to do both.

I was actually going to get the Light Phone 3 and ditch the Phone and the Watch both but $80 vs. $800.
