If you're planning a trip for Labor Day, you might plan on using your iPhone's Maps app for directions. But using the app for extended periods could eat up your monthly data.

With offline maps, you can designate areas you want to download from your Maps app onto your iPhone to use in case of an emergency, or so the app doesn't wreck your cellular data.

Lelo Sona 3 Cruise Review: Stale Update

wired.com Amanda Chatel 2025-11-21 08:00:00

One of my biggest gripes about the sex toy industry—and the tech industry for that matter—is that there's a lot of iteration. New versions of already great products arrive every few years, with very minor changes, and you're left wondering what the latest brings to the table outside of a higher price. Many sex toy brands are guilty of this, from Womanizer and We-Vibe to Dame. Lelo's new Sona 3 Cruise falls into this camp as well, even if its predecessor arrived five years ago. This vibrator doe

I'm a Hot Sleeper, and This $0 Cooling Trick Has Curbed My Night Sweats

I'm a hot sleeper to the point where even a steady stream of air conditioning can't save me from night sweats. So over the years, I've done everything I can think of to stay cool while sleeping — switched my comforter to a light quilt, my cotton pillowcase to a silk one, my pajamas to breathable fabrics like linen — but funny enough, the most helpful change I made cost me nothing and it was right in my linen closet.
