Native Union Pop Phone - Retro Telephone Handset for Modern Devices
Nobody really talks on the phone anymore. Rather than a quick conversation or an epic old-fashioned great one that goes on long into the night, now everyone prefers making plans or trying to sort of converse half-assedly with vague back-and-forth text messages that take up an excruciating amount of your time and life. What time should we meet tonight? ... I don't know. What do you think? ... How about 4 p.m.? ... I can't then ... 5 p.m.? ... *wait 3 hours for a reply* I can't then either... What time then!? ... *next day* sorry, I forgot to reply. How about tonight!? ... 😡 ... If this was a phone call conversation back in the landline era, you would have already slammed the handset down in satisfying disgust.
Well, if you miss using your phone to actually make calls and talk to others like a human being, miss talking on the old landline corded handset instead of pressing a filthy, disgusting, and radiating touchscreen up against your face, fumbling around with Bluetooth mics and lost wireless earbuds with low batteries, or just broadcasting your conversation to the entire room via the speakerphone, then bring a bit of old-school analog back into your digital nightmare life with this cool new yet quite retro-inspired Native Union Pop Phone.
While it may look like the stretchy curly-corded handset of an old landline telephone, this modern-day equivalent now features a much higher quality speaker in the top cup of the handset for crystal-clear audio, a precision microphone in the bottom cup, and it connects to all your digital devices from smartphones and tablets to your laptop via USB-C. It doesn't require any charging, pairing, or power, just plug it in to the USB-C port and use the pick-up and hang-up button to handle your calls. Unfortunately, slamming the handset down on the receiver isn't a thing anymore here, but you can still furiously press the hang-up button to end a call. If you throw it, the curly cord also helps to keep it tethered.
If you miss the classic telephone handset and way better conversations that don't require a winky-faced emoji just to let them know you're joking, then you should get two. One for you and gift the other to a friend or family member. Who knows, maybe you'll go viral when some popular phone-starer out there records you talking on it and then suddenly everyone is getting analog landlines again. Hmm, I miss newspapers with my morning coffee too... can an influencer out there make that popular again too? *sigh* Nobody is even reading this, because they forgot how to scroll and read more than 4 words at a time. 📞📱
