Most smartphones users are addicted to their devices.
Frequent checkers might never have stopped to think about how often they feel the need for notifications/validation on a daily basis.
So when analyst Ben Bajarin attended a security meeting at Apple HQ last week, he managed to discover the unlocking statistic for iPhones.
It’s 80 times a day, on average.
If you have, say, 12-hours a day of usage, that comes down to about once every ten minutes.
And that’s 29,200 times a year, in total.
Apple shared the stats because it wanted to illustrate that using fingerprint ID is much more efficient than inputting a PIN every time you unlock your device.
We clearly all need it.
