The iPhone steering wheel from [Shanghai Donya](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unitree-superman) adds a little bit of Wii flair to the high-tech mobile device. With the rise of the [iPhone 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-4-concept), portable video gaming has never been the same, and the iPhone steering wheel continues this evolution.

Like those on the Wii, iPhone games have motion-based controls. When it comes to racing games, the easiest way to make sure that users are making the correct movements is to provide them with a steering-wheel accessory. To add more fun and energy to your racing games, the iPhone steering wheel also has built-in speakers that run on a [Nokia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Early-Access-Program) battery sold separately. Now you can practice your driving without ever needing to step into an actual car.
