I always wondered if I was the only one cringing every time I saw somebody using an iPhone with a shattered screen or back. Turns out there are tons of them and they still work. According to a survey by UK comparison site MyVoucherCodes.co.uk of 1,112 iPhone users found that:
- 57% had broken their iPhone screen at some point in time
- 27% of those had broken the screen within the first month
- 50%+ broke their iPhone within the first three months
- 51% said their iPhone worked fine even with the broken screen
- 42% continue to use their iPhone even with the broken screen
- 32% didn’t want to claim insurance for the damage
- 41% said they did nothing to protect their iPhone like buying a case or screen protector
Anybody surprised? Once again this is just another WTF survey but I still cringe every time I see somebody with a broken iPhone screen…
