Mobile Home is a new device that aims to make life of iPhone users easier while driving. Smartphone accessories are an essential part of the overall experience of these devices which have become extremely important for all of us. The Bluetooth headset is undoubtedly one of the most important accessory for smartphones as it provides a hands-free experience to users for making calls at times when they cannot hold the phone with their hands such as when driving. The Bluetooth headsets have proved to be great companions of smartphone users however one thing is annoying particularly for iPhone users.
Most Bluetooth headsets do not support iPhone’s popular Siri voice assistant feature that enables users to make calls, send messages, set up reminders and alarms etc without touching their device. Sure users can initiate Siri by pressing the center button in the 3 button remote of the default headphones but there’s simply no way of launching it with Bluetooth headsets. Same is true for cars that allow users to connect their iPhones with the built-in Bluetooth system and use the Bluetooth features of their device without wearing an accessory on the ear.
Now it seems like iPhone users will finally have a solution to that problem in the form of Mobile Home. The Mobile Home is a small rectangular device that features a large iPhone home button-like button. This large button not only looks like iPhone’s home button but also works like that.
The Mobile Home device features a clip that allows users to attach the device on their sun visor or dashboard. The Mobile Home’s home button works exactly like iPhone’s button and allows users to launch Siri on long press, turn on display with single press as well as show audio controls by double press.
The question of how is it compatible with the iPhone has a simpler answer than what you might be expecting. iPhone sees this accessory as a Bluetooth keyboard and reacts to its commands. However Mobile Home has one downside and that is while it is connected you won’t be able to use the iPhone’s own home button but that isn’t a huge deal for most people.
The Mobile Home sells for $59, which is an introductory price and will jump to $79. You can purchase one for yourself here.
