Brits now spend £9 billion on new tech devices each year, carrying around £22 billion worth of gear around with them. That's equivalent to £500,000 of merchandise on a tube at rush hour.
As gizmos become increasingly popular, cross-platform discount company VoucherCodes.co.uk – who isnominated for an ME Award – has found 55 per cent of Brits will ask for a gadget for Christmas this year.
The top ten tech list comprises the iPad Air, PlayStation 4, iPhone 5S and more, but it's Apple and Sony devices that secured 25 per cent of requests.
The top ten is as follows:
1. iPad Air
2. Playstation 4
3. iPhone 5s
4. Basic Kindle
5. Tesco Hudl
6. iPad Mini with retina display
7. Kindle Fire HDX 7
8. Google Nexus 7
9. iPhone 5c
10. Xbox One
Men are eight per cent more likely to add tech to their Christmas lists than women, but their desires change significantly as the former are more hopeful for a console, while women desire Apple products or a Kindle.
23 per cent of Brits hope to update their tech this year, and the £119 Tesco Hudl will bag one in 12 people who base their selections on value.
Additionally, tablets are particularly popular among older consumers, as the iPad Air and Kindle Fire are the top devices wanted by those aged 55+.
