Bouygues Telecom Launched a Mini-Charger That Can't Be Used in Bed

— February 12, 2021 — Tech
Bouygues Telecom has a unique solution to a modern problem. In addition to sleep being interrupted, having a smartphone in the bedroom poses a wide variety of issues, especially for those in relationships. Now, instead of a late night or early morning chat, couples scroll through their phones.

The technology company aims to offer a solution to this problem in the form of a miniature charger that can't be used in bed. The charger seamlessly plugs into the wall, but features a cable that's too short to stretch far enough for use. Offering a reach of only 3.2 centimeters, this phone charger cannot be used while in bed.

The product is promoted in a humorous ad.
