R. Kelly has been charged with multiple counts of criminal sex abuse involving four victims — including minors — in his native Chicago, according to reports Friday, citing court records. The R&B star was hit with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sex abuse in Cook County on Friday.

Apple is expected to show off new iPhones, an updated smartwatch — and maybe some new gear for listening to both — during its annual fall product launch event Wednesday. Hard-core Apple fans will be watching closely for details about the newest features coming to Apple’s gadgets, from a widely anticipated dual-lens camera for the iPhone to a rumored GPS sensor in the Apple Watch. But even casual users of consumer technology may be interested to see if Apple follows through on reports that it’s eliminating the iPhone’s analog headphone jack, since that could pave the way for a big shift in the way people listen to digital music. Getting rid of the traditional analog jack means future iPhone owners will need earbuds or headphones that use a digital connection, either through a wireless signal like Bluetooth or a cord that fits in the same port used for recharging the device. Apple may ship the next iPhones with an adapter that lets older headsets plug into the charging ...
