Justin Bieber Puts Out Call on X: Wants to Make a SKYLRK Phone

Justin Bieber took to social media to publicly announce he wants to build a SKYLRK phone, leaving behind a dedicated email address to recruit potential collaborators. The idea surfaced the same week SKYLRK has been rolling out a flurry of footwear and audio products.

Justin Bieber Puts Out Call on X: Wants to Make a SKYLRK Phone

With just one line — "i wanna make a SKYLRK phone" — plus an email address, Justin Bieber threw the idea of a phone out into the open. He wrote on X: "If you're already building something special and you're ready... show me. Maybe we can bring it to life together." The post ended with a contact email, Phone@SKYLRK.com, and was simultaneously cross-posted to Instagram.

This isn't just a casual branding tagline — it reads more like a formal call for submissions, seemingly aimed at independent developers or teams who already have a prototype but haven't found an outlet for it. So far, there's no information on specs, timeline, or potential partners, and Bieber himself hasn't revealed whether the SKYLRK phone has entered actual development. The post feels more like tossing out a direction and waiting to see who picks it up.

Zooming out on the timeline, this statement didn't come out of nowhere. The same week, Bieber officially unveiled a new colorway for the SKYLRK Sensory Runner, and also mentioned that the Matter Daddy silhouette — four years in the making — still has no confirmed release date. This past summer, SKYLRK opened its first pop-up store in New York, showcasing an expanded lineup of phone cases, power banks, and speakers — effectively already dipping its toes into hardware accessories. Seen in this context, the phone idea didn't come out of thin air, but it's still purely in the concept-gathering stage, with no signs of an actual product taking shape yet.

Since launching just over a year ago, SKYLRK has steadily expanded its territory from apparel, footwear, and eyewear into audio devices and tech accessories. This latest phone announcement continues that same expansion trajectory — except this time, there isn't even a prototype yet, just an email inbox waiting for submissions.
