One of the things that are a real downer about car chargers is that, more often than not, they don’t do much more than trickle charge your phone, and that’s when they work. This is almost always the case for car chargers that you buy from a gas station or local store. To get a

We use our smartphones a lot, and even though the iPhone 8 has a very efficient battery, it’s rather small and drains quite fast, depending on the amount of use you put it through. But, if you’re like me, you’re searching for a charger by mid-afternoon. That’s fine and all, but you’re really in a pickle
One of the most frustrating things with our smartphones is when we just get a new phone, such as the iPhone 8, and about a week or two later, the screen is already covered in scratches, nicks and generally banged up. The everyday damage our phones take is pretty hefty, and it’s usually because we

If you’ve recently purchased an iPhone X or are looking at upgrading to one, you’ll notice that in true Apple form, and similar to the way many phones are going now, there’s no headphone jack.

Regular iPhone 8 charging, over time, can be a serious pain. Over time, that lightning port gets full of dust, lint, and other gunk, making it difficult to charge your iPhone. That gunk builds up in there, not allowing you to get your lightning cable all the way in the port, thus not being able
