IPhone Horn Stand Amplifier

The Horn Stand Amplifier supposedly increases the

iPhone 4's volume by 13 decibels. It is made from
silicone.

Do one or more of these of these apply?

 Superior solution to an old problem

 Application of new technology
 Green design
 Exploring new shapes
 Addressing a new user group
 Appropriate miniaturisation
 Down-teching
 Combining functions

This new amplifier is a superior solution to an old

problem; the terrible sound volume and quality of the
iPhone 4. It’s an application of new technology as it
combines the classic megaphone look with a small,
silicone structure. Although the material is not
biodegradable, it is made from a hard but flexible
plastic, which can be re-used unlike other one-use
pollutant plastics. The iPhone Horn Stand Amplifier
explores new shapes as it connects two resonance
chambers to one. This technology addresses a new user
group as it allows for the iPhone to not only stand
horizontal but also vertical providing the user with
options. The appropriate miniaturization means that the
amplifier is portable and can be used just about
anywhere. It combines functions such as amplifying
sound as well as keeping the headphone jack and other
inputs.
