In this new newsletter youâll get one actionable business idea & learn marketing tactics to build & grow your ecommerce store. Letâs get cracking with this weekâs idea and steps to generate revenue! ð What we've seen Apple released their new iPhone 15 models last week and users have slowly started getting their hands on these flagship devices. Instead of using the traditional stainless steel, Apple has engineered a frame made from titanium. This makes the devices lighter & feel better to touch. In addition to this, they replaced the iconic lightning port with USB-C ports which was a welcome change, and part of the reason many users upgraded to this new phone. [Source]( Despite the engineering brilliance, many users were unimpressed by the lack of innovation displayed this year. Complaints flooded on social media about this new release being the âsame phone with new cameraâ. But more concerningly, reports have been pouring in that the phones get [unbearably hot when being used.](Korean YouTuber [BullsLab]( pointed a thermal camera at the new iPhoneâs and captured temperatures at over 42 degrees (108 Fahrenheit) â¹ï¸ Why this matters After spending upwards of $1000, users are extremely angry at the fact that this a problem they are facing. Many are taking to Twitter to vent their frustrations. The current solution at the moment is to go without a case. Phone cases don't cause overheating but do have the capacity of contributing to overheating due to a number of factors. They are designed to protect your phone from damage, but depending on the material and manufacturing process they trap heat released by the battery. Understandably, users are concerned that a simple drop might shatter the glass back of the phone so are unwilling to go forgo this necessary accessory. However this provides an interesting opportunity for entrepreneurs. Currently phone cases are designed for protection, rather than heat dissipation. ð¡The idea Create an ecommerce store focussed on selling iPhone 15/Pro/Max cases that help cool down the device. The brand Razer tried this in 2019 with their Thermaphene technology, however it never caught on despite the case making the phone 6 degrees cooler than competitors. ð£ Steps to execute Estimated time to revenue: 2-3 months - Explore cooling technologies suitable for phone cases, like fans, heat pipes, or thermoelectric coolers. - Create prototypes of your cooling phone cases using 3D printing or rapid prototyping techniques. These prototypes should incorporate the chosen cooling technology. - Test the prototypes rigorously to ensure they effectively reduce phone heat without compromising phone functionality or aesthetics. - Choose lightweight and durable materials conducive to heat dissipation. Common materials include plastics, aluminum, and thermally conductive materials. - Partner with manufacturing facilities capable of producing cases at scale. - Develop stylish, ergonomic cases tailored to specific iPhone models. - Create an informative website with compatibility information and guides. ð±Â Grow For those of you who have an existing store here are some resources which I think would be beneficial. - Welcome to the [ultimate resource for discovering the best multichannel ecommerce platforms]( that will elevate your sales this year.
