Jack White just received his first-ever mobile phone - at the ripe ol' age of 50.
Yep, the guy who’s been rallying against phones at concerts for years is now the (very reluctant) owner of one, thanks to a birthday gift from his wife, Olivia Jean.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Jack shared some photos of himself looking dubious while holding his new iPhone.
"Well y'all it's either all over for me now or just the beginning. I am now the reluctant owner of a cellular telephone for the first time in my life!" he wrote. "A lovely 50th birthday present courtesy of my gorgeous and thoughtful wife Mrs. Olivia Jean (who took these photos as well.)"
"I've been saying that my days were numbered for years, can't listen to my music in my car, can't park at a parking lot by myself because of QR codes, etc. etc," he continued. "And I guess Olivia decided to be kind and put me (and all my loved ones) out of my misery!"
The rocker noted that he was "proud" to have made it to the age of 50 without ever owning a mobile phone. And honestly, respect.
"Can't wait to talk to you all soon," he continued, before joking, "My phone number is the square root of all of our combined social interaction times Pi."
Jack and singer-songwriter Olivia, 35, have been married since 2022.
