There are many different kinds of accessories for the iPhone. From iPhone Gameboy casings to add-on camera lenses, we’ve seen almost everything that can be used with the iPhone. We have also reached a point where innovation stagnates. Everything is the same. Things are getting boring. Until recently.
Innovations with iPhone accessories are still going strong. iTap is a unique charger for the iPhone or iPad. In fact, it is simply the same power adapter that comes with the iPhone that is shaped like a TAP. The iTap is a 3 pin UK to USB plug that has enough amperage to charge the iPhone. It is made deliberately to look like a faucet to bring out the creative designs of the inventor. Since iPhones chargers are usually in white, the faucet is colored white in unison with its target products. Although the design is quite crappy, it’s a new concept and to be honest, it’s quite refreshing.
When this charger is plugged into an iPhone, the top of the faucet will turn red. When done charging, it will turn blue. Although it may be a simple concept, but the idea behind this product is far beyond our imagination. The designer of iTap hopes that iTap can create awareness of environment protection. It hopes to remind us that water is scarce in some places on earth and that we should also save electricity.
iTap is available for 19.95 pounds, which converted to SGD is $38.
