Technically, there are no essential accessories for an iPhone. The phone itself is already more than capable of performing many actions (including recording professional videos). However, it is always interesting to have additional element that improves usability Of the device.
We don’t know if this is the case for “Clicks”, an external keyboard in the purest Blackberry style and that beyond the curiosity and the attack on nostalgia, it is, to say the least, strange because of its real usefulness in our daily lives. Even if he has it, he has it.
‘Clicks’ is an iPhone case+keyboard that’s as curious as it is uncomfortable
Over the years, Steve Jobs’ idea of turning the original iPod into a phone by adding a keyboard on the back has transcended. However, when thinking about what the company’s first real phone, the iPhone, would be, Jobs never wanted it to have a physical keyboard like other smartphones of the time did. See Blackberry as the best example.
We’ll never know how Steve Jobs would have reacted to “clicks,” but it certainly wouldn’t be an idea he would applaud. This is an iPhone accessory that It retails from $139 and that it is simply a physical keyboard in the style of BlackBerrys, but in this case attached to an iPhone.
The ‘Clicks’ case + keyboard is available in gray and yellow for iPhone 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max
It is a QWERTY keyboard which Attaches in the form of a case and connects to the iPhone using the USB-C or Lightning connector. This connection method gives you a great advantage in eliminating latency, as it connects immediately and avoids the inevitable delay caused by using accessories connected via Bluetooth.
The keyboard communicates with the iPhone via the connector, thus avoiding gap Bluetooth
The idea itself is not bad and it is consistent with the idea of trying to improve certain uses of the iPhone, in this case, as a companion for writing texts. It also protects the device as it is a case and eliminates the delay when connecting via the iPhone port. We could even say that it is beautiful, even if it is something very subjective. However…
How practical is this really? Well, like almost everything in life, it depends. At first glance and consistent with how the iPhone is generally used, it doesn’t have much. After all, it’s not like an iPad that might be geared more towards intensive writing. On an iPhone, given the size of its screen, this would be uncomfortable. Even more so when we also take into account that this case significantly increases the size and makes it almost unmanageable and practically impossible to carry in a standard pocket.
However, if you are interested (even if just out of curiosity) You can buy it even in USA via its website. There are models compatible with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro for $139, while models for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max cost $159. To this we would have to add the cost of international shipping of $15. And all this without excluding the possibility that customs may require additional payment, which is akin to a lottery.
