With Apple set to unveil its iPhone 5 on 12 September, fans everywhere are licking their lips in anticipation—eagerly waiting to get their hands on the latest Apple smartphone.
There is no denying it—everyone wants to own the latest device because it makes us look ‘cool’ and ‘hip’—but is that the only reason why we go crazy over smartphones?
In an infographic by Online Colleges, they analyze the attitudes and characteristics of people who own smartphones and the reasons why we love them so much.
It was revealed that 65% of iPhone owners said that they can’t live without their phones, and 15% of them would rather give up sex than go a weekend without their phones.
It was also reported that the reason why we love our smartphones is because they allow us to stay connected with friends and work—as well as keep us entertained with games, videos and music.
Other interesting finds include: iPhone and Android users tend to be more optimistic than Blackberry users; iPhone users spend an average of 14.7 hours a month playing games on their phones; and most people got rid of their other devices like iPods and cameras after getting their iPhones.
