Average user breaks their beloved Apple smartphone in just ten weeks.
Tim Cook has hinted that the iPhone 6 is due for an autumn release, which may come as a blow to anyone that has just upgraded to an iPhone 5 or lower.
Of course, the revelation may prompt over-zealous buyers to pull their hair out, but www.mobilephonechecker.co.uk (http://www.mobilephonechecker.co.uk/)has revealed the average iPhone in the UK is damaged in just ten weeks, meaning new users won't have to wait long until they're onto the next.
Some of the most unusual ways to damage the Apple device included dropping it into a blender while making a Vine video, while another was wrecked when using it as a 'lovemaking' prop.
The most common causes of damage, however, are:
1. 43 per cent said dropped on a hard surface
2. 35 per cent said fallen into water (toilet, sink, bath etc)
3. 32 per cent said stood or sat on accidentally
4. 12 per cent said Left on roof of car
5. Ten per cent said broken by child
Adam Cable, director of www.mobilephonechecker.co.uk, said: "The screens are pretty fragile as most would admit, and it’s always best to protect your handset with a case to give it the best chance of surviving past the 10 week period. As for the bloke who used his iPhone as a sex toy, well I just hope he didn’t try and sell it second hand afterwards.”
