It’s no secret that these days folks’ smartphones is the most important thing they own, but it seems regardless of how precious they are to most people, they aren’t necessarily treating their devices all that well. A new survey questioned folks on their “Epic Phone Fails” and let’s just say a lot of people need to do better when it comes to protecting their devices.
The poll finds that 60% of people have cracked the screen of their phone, with the most common cause being dropping the phone (62%). And if you think getting a screen protector is going to help, think again. While 60% of people say they have a protector, 66% of those with one have still cracked their phones, while only 60% of those without have done the same.
Another major phone fail is getting it wet, with 51% of people saying they lost a phone thanks to water or liquid, with 30% admitting they dropped it in the toilet.
Of course, not all phone fails are physical; many have to do with what people are actually doing on their devices. The survey finds 76% of people have sent a text to the wrong person, while 28% of those folks admit the mistaken text was sent to the person the message was about. What's more, 48% of people say they sent a message or photo they regretted, with 26% blaming that text on alcohol.
