Apple has figured out how many times a day you unlock your iPhone

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. (via Giphy)
