I don’t know about you, but when I have a nasty hot phone case, I need to get rid of that heat right now. Just kidding, I usually just put it aside for a while or restart it when it’s particularly stubborn. However, there are companies that offer a different solution: small, stick-on phone cooling fans that are designed to dissipate all the heat. And their product photos are a little, um, overly icy.
How did this happen? What started this arms race of increasingly frozen phones? I have to assume it all started innocently enough, but these RGB-infused things are basically aimed at gamers – I guess it didn’t take long for these product photos to turn into wildly unrealistic photos on Amazon.
In the scenario I came up with, the Trakxy Magnetic Gaming Phone Cooler looks like what our patient zero would look like. The tasteful use of a blue telephone and the blue accents around the fan tell me everything I need to know about this magnetically attached fan.
Light frost and some icicles here. Maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but I don’t think I would have looked at that lavender disk and guessed its purpose correctly otherwise, so it would have gotten a pass.
Of course, they also have them for iPads. At first glance, this image is quite harmless. Until you look at the digital display. Does Teesso claim that this will bring the tablet down to five degrees below zero? I’m not sure I want that!
This is where things really start to get worse. Black Shark claims that this will lower the phone’s temperature by “up to 35°C.”
At least this one comes with finger warmers. Very caring.
Like a low opacity snowflake pattern applied to this.
And now here’s the final boss. The phone cooler that ends all phone coolers. One that no one has ever written a bad review about because their fingers are too frostbitten to do so. Introducing the Yanism Magnetic Mobile Phone Refrigerator.
