# Mini Gramophone Speakers The Bone Horn Stand for iPhones is Contemporary and Classy By Meghan Young | Published 2010-10-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-horn-stand References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2010/10/iphone-4-amplifier.html) & [cyberguys](http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=48639&rtn=48638&core_cross=SEARCH_DETAIL_SIMILAR#page=page-1) There are tons of [speakers, stands and stand-speaker hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kogani) out there for iPhone 4s, but I have to admit that the Bone Horn Stand is probably one of the most unique ones. Modeled after a [gramophone record player](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-gramophone), it adds a quirkiness to your phone in a very practical manner. According to Book of Joe, the Bone Horn Stand "adds [12 decibels of sound pressure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newordinary-songbook-max-speaker) to your iPhone's speakers without asking for an erg of battery juice. You can also use it to prop your iPhone into a vertical or horizontal viewing position." It sells for only $24.95 and is available in three colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vintage-inspired Smartphone Accessories:** The popularity of the Bone Horn Stand demonstrates a consumer desire for unique, retro-style accessories for modern smartphones. - **Amplification Without Power:** The Bone Horn Stand's ability to enhance sound without requiring additional battery power highlights the potential for eco-friendly audio amplification solutions. - **Functional Smartphone Stands:** The versatile design of the Bone Horn Stand, which can prop up a smartphone in both vertical and horizontal positions, reflects a growing demand for multi-functional smartphone stands. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** The popularity of vintage-inspired smartphone accessories presents an opportunity for manufacturers in the consumer electronics industry to create unique, retro-style products. - **Audio Equipment:** The demand for eco-friendly audio amplification solutions opens up opportunities for the audio equipment industry to develop products that enhance sound without requiring additional power. - **Mobile Accessories:** The market for multi-functional smartphone stands is growing, creating opportunities for companies in the mobile accessories industry to design and produce versatile stand solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freestanding Smartphone Dock Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jteman-phone-stand-and-speaker.md) - [Posh Power-Free Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplifying-speaker.md) - [Cement-Made Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artifox-monument.md) - [Headphone-Holding Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornucopia-speaker.md) - [Compact Phone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thinn.md) - [Portable Phone-Attached Mini Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magboom-mini.md) - [Phone Charger-Infused Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-chargerinfused-speaker.md) - [Cable Storage Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hold-the-phone-stand.md) - [Speaker-Centric Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-phone.md)
