Native Union’s Retro Headset Lets You Talk More, Scroll Less

If you miss the tactile satisfaction of an old-school phone call—or just want to stop accidentally ending a Zoom meeting with your chin—the Native Union Pop Phone is the retro-tech fix you didn’t know you needed. This isn’t just a gag gift; it’s a USB-C handset designed to bring “intention” back to your conversations. It plugs directly into your iPhone 15, MacBook, or iPad with zero pairing or charging required.

The weighted handset fits the curve of your shoulder perfectly, letting you multitask during long calls without the hand strain of a slippery glass slab. Plus, keeping the phone away from your face reduces mobile radiation exposure by 99%—a nice bonus if you’re the type to spend hours catching up with family. It features a high-quality mic and speaker for crystal-clear audio and a single, satisfying button to answer or hang up.

Made from recycled materials and available in colors like Pine and Sandstone, the Pop Phone is a rare B Corp-certified gadget that actually makes you look cooler during a Microsoft Teams meeting. Grab one for $40 and rediscover the joy of a conversation that doesn’t involve a touch screen.
