Cheyney Group Marketing, Hyperkin 'Smart Boy' joke actually a market test

What everyone thought was just another April Fool's prank turned out to be a clever market testing strategy.

Gaming retailer Hyperkin has unveiled a hardware emulator that can turn an iPhone into a Game Boy on April 1 with the following announcement on its Facebook page: "Meet the Smart Boy, an upcoming Game Boy-compatible device for the iPhone 6 Plus. This notion art shows that it will attach to the mobile phone, turning it into a handheld gaming device compatible with Game Boy and its Color cartridges."
