数据显示 傻瓜手机销量逆势增长
Sales of "dumb phones" have risen as more and more of us attempt to escape smartphones and social media, figures have revealed. The devices, also known as "feature phones", allow users only to make and receive calls, and do not feature the internet or other apps. They are seen as a way to switch off from constant online connectivity. The no-frills handsets are also popular with older shoppers. While global sales of smartphones increased by just 2% last year, sales of dumb phones rose by 5%, the figures show. It comes after a report by Ofcom found that 78% of Britons admitted they could not live without their smartphone, spending an average of two hours and 28 minutes online on it each day. Psychologist Dr Daria Kuss said some smartphone users 'may be aware that they're using it too much, however they can't stop themselves'. |
