According to Deloitte’s “2022 Connectivity and Mobile Trends Survey” the average U.S. household has over 22 connected devices.
More than half of those surveyed are worried about the security of their smart phones and smart home devices
According to CNBC, Americans on average are keeping their devices longer (up from 23 months to 33 months). Reasons cited included the rising costs (+52% over three years) and lack of innovative new features.
With holding on to our devices longer, the need for protection becomes even greater.
According to Allstate, more than half of American’s believe it costs less than $150 to repair their phones.
In reality, many phones that have hit the market in the last three years cost as much as $379 to repair something as minor as a cracked screen.
Are you one of the 140 million Americans that has damaged their phone but not yet protected it?
These answers might help.
