These wallpapers will make sure you don't forget to charge your iPhone

Sometimes it's easy to ignore a low battery warning on your iPhone. But a London-based designer has found a way for you to stay on top of your smartphone's battery. Ben Vessey offers a collection of iPhone wallpapers around $7 that will alert you when it's time to charge. It changes your wallpaper when you've already hit a low battery. There's even wallpaper for when it's charging, so you know that you're correctly topping up your iPhone.

Vessey is offering three different packs. One is a riff on the classic Happy Mac; another features an apple design; and another with faces. You can see it in action above.
