3. It’s not a matter of whether you’ll
misplace your phone. It’s a matter of
when and where…
Which depends on where you live.

4. What Are the Odds?
In the U.S., people lose a smartphone about
once a year.
Phones are more often lost at night. Two-thirds
of phone loss happens between the hours of 9
p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. One of the top
places to lose your phone at is a bar. (Hmmm,
we wonder how that happens…)

7. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
(to Lose Your Phone)
More phones are lost during festivals and
celebrations. During Christmas, more than $11
million dollars worth of phones were lost.
During the week of Carnival (aka Mardi Gras),
more phones were lost around the world than

week. Party-goers in Cologne lost 30% more
phones and in Paris, 72% more phones were
lost.
