As evidence that Italians are bunglers when it comes to cell phones and water, there is also the data collected by a search for CertiDeal – among the first operators specialized in reconditioned hi-tech products in Italy – where it emerges that more than half of the interviewees aged between 15 and 65 have had more than a few accidents linked precisely to this theme. In short, from GenZ to Boomers, without exception: everyone has had to change their phone, at least once, due to a water-related misfortune.
Specifically, it was fatal for 60% of the under 25s falls to the ground in puddles, while for more than half of the over 50s it was contact with water and other liquids such as beer and fruit juices that led to the breakage of the telephone. Then there is a good percentage of the over 30s who confessed a truth that is as uncomfortable as it is feared and embarrassing: the fall in the toilet. And if for the most part the impact with water or liquids occurs at home (50%), there are accidents at work (10%) and during holidays by the sea (40%).
To remedy these incidents, the giants of smartphone production have already partially thought of it, which over the years have given life to smarter and more waterproof devices. But if we still don’t have a water resistant device, and we need some further advice, here are some.
An App to… Dry
