This is such a glaring weakness of the iPhone's current mute function. I can't believe we need a hacky hardware dongle to provide it.

But given that we're at that place, this is about as good a solution as I've seen for those times when you can't turn your phone off but absolutely do not want it to make noise.

A hardware solution to a software problem. So sad.

That said, I personally have no issues with the mute mode. I works as intended for me.

Also, this entire product lime can be made obsolete by a simple software update from Apple.

True, but it sounds like the project team might actually consider that a success, since they designed this to work around a problem they wish they didn't have.

I agree! In the video Ron says he created out of necessity and frustration.
