The Prynt Pocket Turns iPhones Into Instant Photo Printers

— May 24, 2017 — Tech
Before the time of digital photography, the only way that people could see their photos as soon as they took them was with the use of instant cameras from the like of Polaroid or Fujifilm, and though instant image assessment is a given today, the Prynt Pocket is a device that brings back that nostalgic analog technology. The device attaches to iPhones and provides a glossy printout of the images take with the smartphone camera.

Not only does the Prynt Pocket print out hard copies of users' snaps, but it also comes with an app that includes photo editing effects, and users can apply these effects to their physical prints before the Prynt Pocket delivers them. Further, the app can embed videos into the images, and when someone uses the app to scan that photo, they can watch the encoded video.
Trend Themes
1. Smartphone Photo Printing - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a portable smartphone photo printer that can instantly print high-quality photos for on-the-go printing needs.
2. Enhanced Photo Editing Apps - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a photo editing app that offers advanced editing features specifically designed for physical prints, allowing users to customize and enhance their printed photos.
3. Interactive Photo Printing - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent a photo printer that can embed interactive elements, such as videos or augmented reality components, into printed photos, enhancing the overall user experience.
Industry Implications
1. Photography Equipment - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and manufacture smartphone-compatible photo printers that cater to the growing demand for instant printing.
2. Mobile App Development - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop intuitive photo editing apps that integrate seamlessly with smartphone photo printers, offering a complete photo printing solution.
3. Digital Media Sharing - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create platforms or services that enable seamless sharing and viewing of interactive printed photos, allowing users to experience the full potential of interactive photo printing.
