In a bid to combat phone addiction, a startup called Methaphone has introduced a unique solution in the US market - a fake phone designed to mimic the shape and weight of a real smartphone. This minimalist device, priced at $20, features a smooth, empty surface that allows users to mimic scrolling motions without accessing any digital content.

This device first came to attention after a viral TikTok video showed a woman seemingly scrolling on a piece of glass, sparking speculation about a "new Nokia transparent phone." However, it was later revealed that the object was a "methaphone", a clear acrylic slab shaped like an iPhone to help combat phone addiction, Gulf News reported. Made from durable, transparent acrylic, it replicates the weight and contours of a modern phone, offering a tactile experience for those looking to curb their screen time.
