Website: South Carolinians Among the Heaviest Smartphone Users in the US
Amerisleep, a mattress company, released a report on states where people use their phones the most and they ranked South Carolinians as being the 13th heaviest users in the country.
To rank the states, the company analyzed each US state’s average monthly searches for 3,200 terms such as ‘battery overheating’ or ‘why is my phone not working’ to discover where there have been the most problems resulting from the frequent use of devices, therefore learning where cell phones are used the most.
Nevada comes in first place, as there are, on average, 5,550.74 searches for phone problems each month, which, when compared against its population of 3,177,772, equates to 462.56 average monthly searches per 100,000 population, the highest ratio of all US states. Among the most common searches are ‘phone charging slowly,’ ‘phone glitching,’ and ‘iPhone screen black,’ suggesting overusing devices and consequent issues.
