Modern Technology With A Vintage Twist
Do you ever find yourself yearning for yesteryear? Maybe not the unreliability of dial-up internet and no caller ID, but the simplicity of a phone call in the '60s, '80s, or '90s. How about the convenience of a modern smartphone melded with the smart style of vintage technology? If this describes you, you may want to look into some of the products offered by Opis Tech.
Opis Tech is a German tech company with one foot in the past and an eye towards the future. Founded in 2010 by industry veterans, Opis makes smart and stylish products that blend past and present. Among them are handsets that turn the newest iPhone into a rotary dial phone.
You may be asking yourself why there's a big enough market for such a product. Well, let's face it, making calls with your face mashed against your touch screen isn't exactly hygienic. Not only do extended calls transfer germs from your phone directly to your face, but there's also the risk of moving your ear an inch or so to the right and opening up a completely different apps. While there are some undeniable benefits to how smart technology is in 2025, sometimes we wish it was a little less smart.
Sleek & Stylish
Opis's phones come in two distinct categories—well, technically three if you count landlines, but those aren't the star of the show—handsets and desktop mobiles. Let's dive into them.
Handsets are basically what they sound like: a classic '60s style handset that you can plug directly into your cell or tablet(both lightning and USB-C cables are available). This way, you can savor those long calls without the distraction of endless apps, or the blue light that can interfere with your sleep. These handsets are great for when you want to unplug just a little bit.
If, however, you miss the tactile function of a rotary dial, then the desktop mobile collection is for you. Simply pop a SIM card in, and these bad boys meld fixed-line behavior with mobile convenience. It's a little bit clunkier than your typical smartphone, but is far lighter than the behemoths of the 20th century. Once charged, there's no cord tethering you to your wall or desk, so you can continue to walk and talk with ease.
In addition to the rotary dial, classic bell ringer, and coiled cord (perfect for twirling around your finger when you're talking to that someone special), this model stores your local area code along with 9 quick-dial numbers for when your fingers don't feel like moseying around the wheel. Both handset and desktop models come in an array and glossy and stylish colors.
Simple Support
Another benefit of this system is the simplicity of it. For those caring for elderly relatives or who simply don't want to deal with all the bells and whistles of the internet, Opis Tech is a god-send. It's easy and intuitive to understand (don't fix what isn't broke after all), providing mobile connectivity for a fraction of the typical cost. Additionally, Opis has a specific range catering to those hard of hearing. The hEar line is designed with hearing aids in mind, meaning it comes with an extra-loud adjustable bell and interference-free connections.
Run, don't walk to Amazon or wherever you get your tech.
