It probably won't surprise anyone that a cracked screen is the most common form of device damage, but a UK survey by Secure Data Recovery found that as many as one in six people here could be using a phone with a cracked screen at any moment.
This writer recalls that several iPhones with cracked screens can usually be counted on commuter trains in and out of the British capital, so the latter is not particularly surprising either. The much-maligned millennials are the most likely people to have broken their phones multiple times in their lives, according to Secure Data Recovery.
And it's not just phones – laptops are often damaged by being dropped or having a key broken in some way. Dropping it, spilling liquid, or breaking a key seem to be the most common mishaps reported overall.
