# Bedtime-Focused Smartphone Docks This Smart iPhone Dock Simplifies Apple Users' Nightly Routines By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2016-02-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-iphone References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3056170/this-ingenious-iphone-dock-could-fix-the-internet-of-things-biggest-problem) & [labs.teague](http://labs.teague.com/?p=1944) Design consultancy Teague developed a smart [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-snooze) dock which makes bedtime routines a tad bit easier. Almost every night iPhone users search for their Lightning cable, open the clock app and turn on their alarm. The process can be tiresome and annoying but almost every [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magsafe-trio) fan undergoes this nightly task. Providing an alternative that is far less bothersome, Teague has created a ridged shelf that operates a smart iPhone dock outfitted with bedtime phone logistics. Users set down their iPhone and conductive charging will power the device overnight. To set the alarm, users only have to slide their phone across the dock. On the screen, alarm times change accordingly while daylight animates in and out of the frame to represent where the sun will be when users awake. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 95% | 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) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Nighttime Smartphone Docks:** There is an opportunity for companies to create similar smartphone docks for bedtime routines. - **Smartphone Charging Simplification:** Companies could develop charging devices that are easier and more convenient to use than traditional charging cables. - **Bedtime Routines Automation:** There is potential for technology that automates various aspects of bedtime routines, such as setting alarms, adjusting lighting, and more. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Companies in the consumer electronics industry could create similar products to simplify bedtime routines for smartphone users. - **Smart Home Automation:** There is an opportunity for companies in the smart home automation industry to incorporate bedtime routines in their products. - **Mobile Accessories:** Companies in the mobile accessories industry could develop products that make it easier to charge smartphones and perform nighttime routines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Technology Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-snooze.md) - [Intentional Disconnection Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-power.md) - [Miniature Phone Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sleep.md) - [Anti-Distraction Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-dock-concept.md) - [Gesture Based Structured Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-smart-clock.md) - [Smartphone-Sized Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sleep-collection.md) - [Shifting Orientation Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-stand-charger.md) - [Anti-Distraction Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migo-wireless-charger-dock.md) - [Colorful Smartphone Charging Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/griptok.md)
