new phone case, who dis? 🤙

iPhone in a giant "brick phone" case designed to look like those huge early wireless phones. The first handheld cellular phone call was made by Motorola engineer Martin Cooper on April 3, 1973, in New York City, using a prototype DynaTAC device. This "brick phone" weighed 2.5 pounds, offered 30 minutes of talk time, and required 10 hours to charge. It became commercially available in 1983 as the $3,995 DynaTAC 8000X. See https://www.etsy.com/listing/1862561919/retro-motorola-dynatac-brick-phone-case

@codinghorror is it filled with a battery? Your phone could last for weeks!

Patrick McGoohan as Number Six from the 1967 TV Show "The Prisoner". He's a white man with short hair holding a stylized, L-shaped cordless phone which somewhat resembles the OP's phone case.

@codinghorror Thats up with the other gem I saw - someone put a battery and bluetooth interface into an old classic rotary phone, arranged so it linked to their (concealed) mobile.

Then took it on a train and with the rotary phone on the table received a call 8)
