Smart Boy - When the iPhone becomes a Game Boy

The Smart Boy turns the iPhone 6 Plus into a Game Boy.

Where are the days when we "charged" Nintendo's Game Boy. Now this iconic device has announced a comeback. However, since as a mobile console it would be difficult to compete with smartphones, it used the philosophy "if you can't beat them, join them". And the Smart Boy concept was born, turning the iPhone 6 Plus into a Game Boy. And if you thought this was just an April Fool's joke, you weren't far from the truth, because the manufacturer Hyperkin had exactly that in mind at first.

Smart Boy, which iPhone 6 Plus change to Game Boy is a device that all Apple smartphone owners and Nintendo mobile fans will soon be able to purchase. You will insert the phone into a device that is "from the waist down" very similar to the original Game Boy (here is an eight-way D-pad, two action buttons and the Start and Select buttons), and the iPhone 6 Plus screen will pop up as the screen.

And if you go to the online store for games, you will do wrong, because the device has an identical one cassette cartridge, like the Gameboy had. The correct address is thus the attic or the space under the bed. If you don't have them anymore, hurry up A flea. This will bring back memories from your youth, with the difference that you will have now high resolution screen, too AA batteries but you won't need it anymore (it already has a built-in battery). Smart Boy will work otherwise through the application.

There is a high probability that the case will also be available for other smartphones with other operating systems in the future (Android, Windows) and although the release date is still unknown, the great news was that Hyperkin has more than April Fools' intentions with it.
