Long before Apple made the Apple Watch, people used to take the iconic iPod nano and attach it to their wrists instead. The iPod was arguably the first Apple smartwatch, and soon we could be turning our Apple Watches into iPods instead.
That's what the tinyPod appears to be, although we know very little about what it will do or how it will work right now. Instead, we have a teaser, posted to the X social network, and a promise of more information coming soon.
Whether or not you'll want to strap your Apple Watch Series 9 to this thing or not remains to be seen, but there's a certain symmetry to the Apple Watch becoming an iPod that's hard to ignore and it'll be fascinating to see what the tinyPod is capable of.
It's an iWatchPod
The teaser video for the tinyPod appears to suggest that we'll be able to use our Apple Watches just like an iPod, but there is also a hint of the iPhone in there as well. Remember that you'll be able to use all of your watchOS apps with this thing, making this more capable than most iPods ever were.

The teaser says that we can expect to learn more next month which means we should only have to wait a few more weeks to get some details. Pricing will also be a big question mark that hangs over the tinyPod until more details are available, while we have to wonder about distribution as well. If there was ever a product that has the air of a Kickstarter project, this is definitely it.
All eyes are now on June to see what the people behind the tinyPod have in store.
