Aussie travellers are racing to IKEA to buy a handy gadget that only costs $1. Credit: IKEA.

IKEA is currently selling a nifty accessory called the 'Yuppienalle' (Swedish for 'smartphone holder') that's designed to allow users to watch videos on their smartphones hands-free.

The foldable holder can be used to securely prop up a phone in either portrait or landscape mode while you're travelling – meaning you can finally catch up on that film series you've been meaning to start (we won't judge if it's something trashy and guilty-pleasure-ish!).



Adrian, a TikTok user from Sydney, recently went viral for showing his viewers the $1 find, sending thousands of his followers into a frenzy to get their hands on one. His video has been viewed almost one million times and drew in hundreds of comments from excited shoppers.

'A dollar??? Running to IKEA now. Such a great find!' one user wrote in the comments, while another added: 'What?! Buying one! It will come in handy on an aeroplane. This will hold my phone on the tray table.'

The device has both horizontal and vertical mounting options for your phone. Credit: IKEA.

The device is perfect for propping up and securing your phone while watching movies, but other users have discovered an entirely unexpected purpose for it: a bottle opener! Now we're officially sold… we can't be caught without having one around, can we?

Members, next time you're planning a road trip or lengthy journey of any kind, make sure to pick up one of these nifty little Yuppienalles from IKEA – your future self will thank you!

And if you're racking your brain on which TV show to binge-watch next, here are some recommendations:
