The march toward digital sleekness has made our calls clearer, but we think it’s also made them clinical. If you’ve been missing the satisfying, chunky feel of a classic phone receiver — the one you actually had to pick up — Power Mac Center is here with the antidote. The local Apple premium reseller is now stocking the Native Union Pop Phone in the Philippines.
This isn’t your grandmother’s landline accessory. The Pop Phone is an unapologetic blast from the past, designed for the modern hybrid workspace. It plugs directly into virtually any USB-C device, whether that’s an Android smartphone, a laptop, a tablet, or any of the Apple iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPhone 17 models. Crucially, it is not compatible with the old Lightning port, cementing its place as a truly USB-C accessory.
Intentional calling in a distracted world
Native Union is pitching a return to “intentional conversation.” The experience is simple: There’s no charging, no Bluetooth pairing, and no confusing menus — just plug it in and start talking. This focus on simplicity makes it an ideal accessory for those who spend hours on video calls, as it’s optimized for services like Zoom, Teams, and FaceTime.
The Native Union Pop Phone also addresses a few real ergonomic issues that plague smartphone users. Its comfortable, ergonomic grip is designed to significantly reduce the hand and neck strain that comes with cradling a slim handset during a long call. Furthermore, by keeping your actual device away from your face, Native Union highlights its function as a tool to reduce exposure to mobile radiation. It even includes a built-in button on the mobile for picking up and hanging up calls, making multitasking easier.
Beyond the functionality, Native Union has built the Pop Phone with modern sustainability in mind. The handset is B Corp certified and constructed from recycled materials, including 100% recycled TPU and 30% recycled plastics.
Price and availability
If you’re ready to dial up the charm on your next meeting, the Native Union Pop Phone is available now for P2,190 (roughly $38) at select Power Mac Center branches. It comes in a range of colors to match any aesthetic, including Alarm Red, Black, Slate Green, Sand Stone, Candy, Lemon, Lilac, and Pine. For the price of a decent protective case, you can make your next call the most satisfying one you’ll have all week.
