Popsicase turns your iPhone 6 into a popsicle (just make sure not to lick it)

The HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy S6 are sure to be the highlights of the 2015 Mobile World Congress, but let’s not count out the smaller players that are aiming to make at least some sort of splash. Case in point: Popsicase, a rather unique sleeve from the folks at Atunrojo.

The Popsicase isn’t just a protective case for your iPhone 6, but rather a protective case with a foldaway handle tucked in the back. Imagine a popsicle, but instead of the cold, sweet deliciousness that is ice cream, you have your iPhone 6. Now you see why it’s called the Popsicase.

POPSICASE the phone with a handle

With that foldaway handle, you can have an easier time taking selfies, recording video, or just better handling the iPhone 6. The Popsicase will come in eight colors, but there is a separate limited collection called Hola from Barcelona (Hello from Barcelona), since the Popsicase is manufactured in Barcelona, Spain. For this collection, Atunrojo teamed up with La Casa de Carlota (Carlota’s House), a design studio whose creative team is made up of design students and the disabled, such as those with Down syndrome and autism.

In order to make the Popsicase a reality, Atunrojo is turning to Kickstarter. Pledging at least $25 will net you the Popsicase in any available color, as well as a handpainted, handwritten postcard from La Casa de Carlota. Atunrojo needs at least $25,000 in pledges to move forward, after which Kickstarter backers will receive the Popsicase sometime in May.

As of this writing, the campaign garnered $2,700 from 43 backers with 30 days to go.

iPhone SE 4: news, rumored price, release date, and more
The Apple iPhone SE (2022) and Apple iPhone SE (2020) together.

While the spotlight always seems to be on Apple’s mainline iPhones, the iPhone SE is a great pick for those who are on a budget. If you want an iPhone that doesn't break the bank, the SE is the way to go.

The original iPhone SE came out in 2016, and then Apple revamped it in 2020 and 2022 by giving it some more modern hardware. The iPhone SE tends to get updated every two or so years rather than annually like the traditional iPhone. This means  that we should see a new iPhone SE 4 this year, but it’s not so cut-and-dried with this particular model.

Here’s how Apple could change your iPhone forever

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.

But there have been a couple of teasers of what we can expect. In February, an Apple research paper detailed an open-source model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE) that is capable of media editing using natural language instructions from users. Now, another research paper on Ferret UI has sent the AI community into a frenzy.

There’s a big problem with the iPhone’s Photos app
The Apple iPhone 15 Plus's gallery app.

While my primary device these days continues to be my iPhone 15 Pro, I’ve dabbled with plenty of Android phones since I’ve been here at Digital Trends. One of my favorite brands of phone has been the Google Pixel because of its strong suite of photo-editing tools and good camera hardware.

Google first added the Magic Eraser capability with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which is a tool I love using. Then, with the Pixel 8 series, Google added the Magic Editor, which uses generative AI to make edits that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. There are also tools like Photo Unblur, which is great for old photographs and enhancing images that were captured with low-quality sensors.
