Compatible with almost any socket, the faucet design is easy to use and its all-white design matches perfectly with any of the current [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipull) charging cords. When the knob is horizontal, a red light shows that the power is off, when it is vertical, a blue light comes on to show that the power is running through the charger. This indication system is excellent for those who find it convenient to leave their chargers plugged in but don't want to waste a lot of energy and electricity when it is not in use. The iTap iPhone charger is practical, stylish and works with [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-adapter) as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Faucet-style Phone Sockets:** The faucet design concept can be applied in other charging and power-related products. - **Energy Conservation Indicators:** An indicator system that shows when power is on or off can be useful in other electronic devices. - **Dual Compatibility Chargers:** The iTap charger's ability to work with both iPhones and iPads can disrupt charging solutions for devices from different brands. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile Phone Accessories:** The faucet-style design concept can inspire new charging solutions for phone accessories. - **Home Electronics:** An indicator system for energy conservation can be useful in other home electronics such as TVs and smart home devices. - **Power Banks and Portable Chargers:** Dual compatibility chargers can disrupt the market for power banks and portable chargers by providing a flexible charging solution for different devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outlet Transformed Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerbug.md) - [Accessible Power Cord Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipull.md) - [Intentional Disconnection Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-power.md) - [Magnetic Charging Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-on-charger.md) - [Swiveling Technology Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chictechie-tarot.md) - [Minimalist Dual-Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-powerthru-2in1-charging-stand.md) - [Outlet-Mounted Device Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tech-charger-dock.md) - [Shifting Orientation Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-stand-charger.md) - [Minimalist Mobile Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hirise3.md)
