Why This Matters

Insta360's new Snap monitor taps into the growing trend of rear touchscreen accessories for iPhones, offering users enhanced control and real-time preview capabilities for high-quality selfies and videos. This development highlights the increasing importance of versatile, portable filming tools in the consumer tech market, catering to content creators and selfie enthusiasts alike.

Insta360, named for its panoramic action camera, is the latest company to jump on the magnetic selfie screen for iPhone trend.

Last month, my colleague Fernando Silva opened my eyes to the world of rear touchscreen iPhone cases. The purpose? Mostly using the highest-quality camera on your iPhone to take selfies. Fair enough.

What I didn’t realize is that this is apparently becoming a trend now. The Selfix iPhone case as a one-off accessory is one thing, but Insta360 is a brand with weight behind it. Apple sells Insta360 action cameras and gimbals, for example.

That makes me look at the Insta360 Snap Selfie Screen a little more closely than I might otherwise. Also, it’s a standalone accessory and not a case.

Insta360 Snap comes in two flavors: one for $79.99 without a light, and one for $10 more that includes an adjustable light.

These are the key Insta360 Snap features:

Preview your shots in real time while using your phone’s superior rear camera.

The 3.5-inch high-res touchscreen gives you total control of your phone with screen mirroring to frame your shots perfectly every time.

Plug in and play, no charging required. Shoot in 4K with instant preview for a true “what you see is what you get” experience.
