# Carnivorous iPhone Apps iBacon is Purely for Meat-Loving Mobile Users By Rachel | Published 2009-06-29 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iPhone-iBacon References: [forevergeek](http://www.forevergeek.com/2009/06/bacon_on_your_iphone_yes_theres_an_app_for_still_no_cure_for_cancer_though/) & [g-monkeyproductions](http://g-monkeyproductions.com/G-Monkey_Productions/iBacon_application_for_the_iPhone_and_iPod_touch_|_G-Monkey_Productions_LLC.html) The [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macpaw) certainly has some less-than-necessary apps, and iBacon seems to fall under that category. The iBacon [iPhone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blank-spaces-app) has a pretty simple premise. ‘Cook’ four pieces of bacon on a skillet, flip them as you see fit, drain the fat, and then virtually eat the bacon. The iBacon sells for $1.19 and will fulfill your [virtual meat cooking needs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coleman-introduces) (is that even a thing?). Take a look at the video explaining the iBacon, not that it’s that difficult a concept to grasp. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Cooking Apps:** Opportunity for developing virtual cooking apps that simulate cooking experiences for users. - **Interactive Food Apps:** Opportunity for creating interactive food apps that allow users to virtually eat and enjoy different food items. - **Novelty Mobile Apps:** Opportunity for developing novelty mobile apps that offer unique and entertaining experiences for users. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunity for mobile app developers to create innovative and engaging apps for various platforms. - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to leverage technology to create virtual food experiences for consumers. - **Entertainment and Gaming:** Opportunity for entertainment and gaming industry to incorporate virtual cooking and food experiences into their products and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anti-Meat Hypnosis Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-raging-pig-company.md) - [Ready-To-Cook Bacon Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildflour-bakery.md) - [Pre-Cooked Vegan Bacon Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-snack-factory.md) - [Delectable Plant-Based Bacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-bacons.md) - [Cider-Flavored Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-apple-cider-bacon.md) - [Hearty Bacon-Packed Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-lotta-bacon-burger-1.md) - [Bacon Holiday Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-side-of-bacon.md) - [Bacon Abstaining Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacoff.md) - [Interactive Gamified Restaurant Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baoverse-app.md)
