One of my favorite iPhone accessories just made a comeback

Mophie Mophie, a brand known for its mobile power accessories, has announced the return of the fan-favorite Juice Pack case for the iPhone at CES 2024. Yes, the Juice Pack is back.

The iPhone’s new Journal app is worse than I thought

Digital Trends One of Apple’s recent focuses on iOS and watchOS is mental health and wellness. In the most recent watchOS 10 and iOS 17 updates, Apple added Mindfulness capture, which lets you log your mood for the day or how you feel at a particular moment.

With iOS 17.2, Apple finally released Journal to the public as another tool for better mental…
