The future is here: Women can finally charge their iPhones in their jeans

JOE'S® Official Site | #Hello Battery
Charging your phone from the wall? How old-school. Wireless charging? That’s so 2013. Charging your phone in your jeans? That’s the future. Let Joe’s Jeans introduce you to pants-charging with its new denim line, the #Hello jean, which was spotted by

Mashable.

For only $190, women can now have the luxury of owning a pair of jeans with a special opening for a battery pack to charge their phones. Of course, the battery pack doesn’t come with the jeans and will set you back another $50. Don’t fret, though, because that pack will make sure to charge your iPhone 5 and 5S from zero to 85 percent and your iPhone 6 from zero to 70 percent.

Unfortunately, if you want to charge your iPhone 6 Plus with your jeans, you’re out of luck, because the special pocket for the phone simply won’t fit your behemoth of a smartphone. Like most women’s jeans, Joe’s #Hello jeans don’t have deep enough pockets. Instead, the company went for a “patent pending” pocket that only fits some phones.

You’ll even need to remember to take out the battery pack and cable every time you want to wash your jeans, which could be a big problem for forgetful folks.

Also, the #Hello jean is a pair of skinny jeans, so if you want something a bit more roomy or with a wide leg, you’re out of luck. You can, however, get the #Hello jean in Aria, Cecily, Kalia, and Regan styles, which each offer a different color. If you’re interested, you can buy the #Hello jean online through the Joe’s Jeans online portal. Remember, ladies: the future is now. As for the gentlemen, your futuristic charging jeans already arrived.

I hate the new Photos app in iOS 18
Photos app on iOS 18.

When Apple launched the iPhone 16 line, it also released iOS 18 to the masses after months of betas. Though the biggest feature of iOS 18 is Apple Intelligence, which didn’t actually launch until the iOS 18.1 release, there are plenty of other things that iOS 18 brings to the table. That includes RCS messaging, more home screen customization, a revamped Control Center, and more.

One app that got a significant redesign in iOS 18 is the Photos app. After around a decade of mostly the same design and what I would call muscle memory, the new Photos app is, well, quite jarring — and I'm not a fan.

A hidden iOS 18.1 upgrade made it harder to extract data from iPhones

Apple Intelligence was the most notable upgrade that arrived on iPhones with the iOS 18 series of updates. But it seems Apple reinforced the security protocols in the background that could prevent bad actors from gaining unauthorized access to iPhones that haven’t been unlocked in a while by their legitimate owner.

Earlier this month, 404Media reported that law enforcement officials are troubled by iPhones that are mysteriously rebooting. Citing a report courtesy of officials in Michigan, the outlet notes that the reboots are hampering the ability to access what’s stored on the phones through brute-force unlock methods.

I love this new iPhone camera feature. Here’s why I’ll never use it

Ever since Apple introduced its Photographic Styles, I’ve mostly stuck to the Standard filter and then edited my pictures in the Photos app later if I wanted. With iOS 18, Apple added the ability to change Photographic Styles after taking a photo, and I decided it was time to experiment and play around with different Styles.

I quickly discovered I’d been missing out, but also why I'm never likely to use the feature again.
A frustrating choice
