Yes, there’s an iOS app that can actually blow out candles, and it’s not just a gimmick. Called Blower, this piece of software makes use of your iPhone / iPad / iPod speaker hardware to modulate the air around the grille. Simply put, when the speaker cone inside of an iPhone moves out, it pushes a little bit of air out.
Now when the speaker cone moves the other direction, it sucks the air back in. There are three different modes: BLOW (blows out candles and lighter flames), BEAT (flames dance to the music) and GUN (flames shiver). Users could also touch the blower rotor in-app to drive it around and see sparks.
- EXTRA BASS for deep, punchy sound
- Sound Diffusion Processor expands sound far and wide
- Waterproof and dustproof (IP67 rated).
For maximum blowing power, remove protective covers/casings that could block the air flow, and ensure no dust has accumulated in your speaker opening. You can verify the cool air flow by holding the speaker opening close to your mouth,” according to the developer.
