The tinyPod is a unique design that brings a sense of nostalgia through the compact gadget. It honors the original Apple iPod, which was praised for its simplicity backed by various functions accessed through the click-wheel control. This has changed over the years as technology progressed towards a touchscreen function as the main source of control for devices.
The tinyPod device takes the Apple Watch and transforms it into a gadget reminiscent of the iPod. It is encased in a structure that recalls a previous era. Users can control and listen to their music without having to pull out their phones. It does differentiate from the iPod as features such as YouTube cannot be accessed.
