Source: Study: Apple Users Spend Nearly $6 Billion To Fix Broken iPhones
SquareTrade, a technology protection plan provider, surveyed more than 2,000 iPhone users and found that they have spent $5.9 billion in order to repair their devices. Thirty percent of those surveyed damaged their iPhones over the last 12 months alone.
WOW! Those are some rich iPhone owners and mighty clumsy I would have to say.
Math: 5,900,000,000/2000 = 2,950,000 each! Of course, that number is really higher, because I'm counting everyone in the survey.
Guess whoever wrote the article was a little confused. Plus, they should really put it all in perspective and use percentages and see how that compares to other phones, repair cost vs up-front cost, etc.
Afterall, it takes a lot of money to repair commercial jets, that would be a big number as well.
