HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the summer holiday
season kicks into gear, a notable increase in phone breakages
has been observed, with many vacationers using their devices more
frequently to capture memories through photographs.
A recent study compiled by impact protection brand, D3O, found
that phone breakages increase by 50% during the summer months
compared to other times of the year. The surge in phone usage,
combined with the more adventurous activities of summer, has led to
a higher incidence of drops, spills, and other accidents that
result in damaged phones.
The financial impact of these breakages is significant.
According to research, Americans spend approximately $3.4 billion annually on repairing cracked and
broken phones. However, many choose to continue using their damaged
devices due to the high cost of repairs. In fact, a survey revealed
that nearly 25% of smartphone users in the US are currently using
phones with cracked screens because they find the repair costs
prohibitive.
