A viral TikTok clip showing a woman scrolling on a clear, interface-less phone sparked widespread curiosity and speculation online. Unveiled as a Methaphone, a clear acrylic model designed to mimic an iPhone, the invention serves as a commentary on phone addiction. Created by a friend of the woman who posted the video, it seeks to replicate the sensation of carrying a phone to test if this can alleviate addiction. Furthermore, a study indicates a significant portion of Americans feel their phone use is addiction-like, reinforcing the relevance of the Methaphone concept as social commentary.
"This is a Methaphone, it is exactly what it looks like, a clear piece of acrylic shaped like an iPhone."
"He told me that what he wanted to test was, if we're all so addicted to our phones, then could you potentially curb somebody's addiction by replacing the feeling of having a phone in your pocket with something that feels exactly the same?"
