Apple is one of the leading Silicon Valley corporations and their products are known for their impeccable design and clever yet functional styling. Their iPhones are everywhere, and it doesn’t help when there’s a new iPhone every six months to a year.
As to be expected with such a large user base, everyone and their mom wants to create a product or application for the iPhone. Sadly however the same level of quality and innovation doesn’t always translate, as these ten idiotic iPhone products can attest to.
Let’s just jump on into our Ten Worst iPhone Products of all time countdown.
This retro phone handset for the iPhone is pretty much the biggest waste of 7 dollars I have ever seen. It’s cheap and not a bad gag gift, but to suggest anyone would walk around with this thing on the go is ridiculous.
Not only that but you date yourself as someone who actually knows what the hell this handset is.
That’s what I’d suggest if your favorite beer doesn’t come with a twist off and you _*really *_cannot manage to open it without an opener. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good brew as much as the next guy and hate when I don’t have a bottle opener handy.
But paying someone 19.99 to turn my 600 dollar iPhone into a bottle opener just isn’t my idea of prudent spending.
Not to mention whipping your iPhone out every time a beer requires opening will most likely get your phone and 20 dollar waste of money lost.
Part paper towel holder part USB charger, this product and the need doesn’t seem to be too far fetched or dumb.
Sadly when you ask someone to fork over 49.99 so they can charge their iPhone near the possibly wet areas of a kitchen?
You end up on a ten worst iPhone products list like this.
This case that doubles as an operational lighter is a pure stroke of comedic genius but there’s quite a few versions and companies that sell this product, so it must sell someplace.
Me? I’d rather save my 49.99 and get a lighter for a dollar, like every other smoker out there. Unless of course you WANT to place a butane encased shell next to my $600 dollar phone and potentially explosive Li-ion polymer battery pack
Coming in at the number six spot on our top ten dumbest iPhone products is the PhoneSoap, the case that utilizes a specialized beam of UV rays to disinfect your phone.
Very handy for the casual outbreak of the Ebola virus.
Putting you in the middle of your own personal high definition theater experience, this bold TV Hat product lets you completely obstruct your view from anything surrounding you in style.
Perfect for when that annoying glare and light causes viewing distractions, and you are just too lazy to pull the blinds.
Says just about everyone under the age of 25 who sees this beauty of a iPhone product sitting in your home. This item works for the iPhone as well as the iPad, integrating the use of an old typewriter as a keyboard for your iPhone or iPad.
You even have to pull the carriage return in order to send the Enter key, and a full turnkey system is a bargain at $799.99.
That’s what comes to mind first when looking at the “iStun” a stun gun that is incorporated into your iPhone case.
I just don’t know what the purpose of this thing is, other than to shock yourself or a loved one by accident. I buttdial my relatives at least twice a week.. what's to stop this thing from zapping me?
When faced by an attacker, what’s the difference between this thing and a normal stun gun?
And then iSlapmyself because I just gave someone real money for a iPhone case that’s made for you to eat.
Designed by a Japanese inventor the number 2 entry on our top ten dumbest iPhone products is called the Survival Senbei iPhone 5 Case.
Made from Japanese brown rice and seasoning, this case fits snugly around your iPhone 5 and will only set you back 48 dollars plus shipping for this piece of junk.
Sorry but even as a novelty, this thing makes no sense. At all.
You have to be iRich or iDumb to purchase the Dima Clarity, which is a $12,000 dollar iPhone case. Wondering what it does or why it’s so expensive? Who cares??
The company tagline for this product is “The Perfect Compliment”, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
The Dima Clarity, the phone case that costs 21 times more than the phone you are protecting.
Hope you enjoyed the ten worst iPhone products, did you disagree or have any products to share of your own?
