iCups is a practical joke device parodying the iPhone 6 released in 2014.[1] Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak found it to be amusing.[2][3][1]

iCups consists of two silver-colored cups made of high-quality paper connected by a light green string. It was inspired by cups-on-a-string, a traditional toy. iCups cost $7 and upwards in 2014, depending on the edition.[4]

iCups Classic comes in a white box, while the luxury edition of iCups comes in a black box, similar to the black boxes that come with the iPhone 6.[3] The adjustable chord can be 32, 64, or 128 inches.[5]

iCups was launched in 2014 as "The Ultimate iRonic Gift"[6] by Magdim Metshin, the creator of ADA Sports.[5]

It was originally released as a comical low-cost alternative to the iPhone 6.[7] Originally, iCups had been part of an iPhone parody animation, but Metshin then decided to make iCups an actual product via a Kickstarter fundraiser.[3]
