Because your mobile phone is no longer just your phone…..it’s your camera, your music maker, your office away from home (when you can’t take a laptop).
You need to be able to charge it wherever you are, link up a keyboard to it - one that fits easily into your backpack - listen to music with it, and take pictures with it. Your mobile is no longer just your phone (repeated I know) - it’s so powerful it’s a mini computer as well, and most of use use ours pretty much all day, far too much some would say.
So it’s no surprise that there are new developments in phone tech and accessories appearing all of the time, many of which are particularly useful at this time of year because when you can’t think what to give someone, give them something to do with their phone - but not something silly and useless, something really quite clever and that they may not have thought of themselves. Seriously good gifts for mobile phone lovers always go down a treat.
I go on and on about mobile chargers, but having had so many pinched ‘borrowed’ by friends and family (and friends of family) I will continue to do so as lighter and more powerful ones are released.
This is just some of the phone tech available now. You really need to keep up - last years model of anything phone related simply just won’t do……
As someone who is in the next few months going to upgrade to an iPhone without a headphone jack, which I have to confess I've been putting off, this is another tiny piece of tech I know I'll need - a lightening to headphone jack adaptor, with a splitter so I can charge my phone at the same time. How long is it going to take me to lose this? Who knows.......
