Today's number is about... smartphone failures
70% of smartphones and tablets that break in summer do so as a result of "irresponsible use", according to Energy System.
Six out of every ten failures repaired after summer are due to using the phone with wet hands or just coming out of the water. One third of the repairs involve fixing the damage caused by humidity when swimming with the smartphone, a rather common mistake.
In addition, three out of every ten repairs after vacation involve fixing the damage caused by the sand, while 10% are due to keeping the phones in the car's glove compartment or in a beach bag exposed to the sun.
