Ikea Releases a Portable Bluetooth Speaker That Doubles as a Lamp

Ikea has teamed up with Spotify to release a stylish and useful piece of gear. The VAPPEBY combines a Bluetooth speaker with a portable lantern. Perfect for camping trips, picnics, or backyard hangs, the VAPPEBY lets you keep the party going while shedding a bit of light. The speaker uses Spotify Tap, a new feature that uses the speaker’s power button to turn on and resume the song on Spotify. It’s effectively a shortcut so you don’t need to go into your phone and open up the app to get your music playing. The speaker features 12 hours of battery life, 360° sound, and water resistance. The light isn’t particularly powerful but functions much like a standard camping lamp. The VAPPEBY is simple with no integrated smart features or unique tools but it delivers exactly what’s asked of it. If you’re looking for a cheap yet functional Bluetooth speaker that can light up your party, the Ikea VAPPEBY is just what you need.
