Ikea’s Vappeby bluetooth speaker just leaked due to an FCC filing. And since it’s Ikea, this mushroom-shaped speaker with an IP65 rating – meaning it can withstand dust, rain, and low pressure jets of water – also has a built-in 20-lumen (2700K) lightbulb to make it a portable device double work lamp. But that’s not the only surprise.
The Vappeby speaker also has a Spotify tap button, which is apparently a first for bluetooth speakers. Spotify Tap lets you pick up your music where you left off or tap the button again for a different recommendation that’s tailored to you. Spotify Tap is already available for a number of Bluetooth headphones from Samsung, Microsoft, Bose, Jabra, and more.

The tiny speaker, which seems to be ideal for use in the garden or on the terrace, also has a USB-C port for charging and a battery that, according to Ikea, lasts up to 13 hours when it is set to 50 percent volume and brightness is set.
Note: The Vappeby is not part of the Symfonisk range of Sonos-developed speakers. It will sit next to Ikea’s other Bluetooth speakers, which currently start at $ 24.99 and go up to $ 89. There’s no price or date on this all-weather portable speaker, but it shouldn’t be long before it hits retail stores after it’s FCC clearance.
