Are You an iPhone Addict?

Remember how smoking for the first time or speeding felt? Remember the exhilarating freedom your rebel act gave you? Now fast forward a little and think about the weird heart-thumping, guilty feeling you get afterwards when you start worrying that your mom or dad or wife might find out about it. Studies suggest that this may just be how technology addicts feel often times. If you think that your chronic habit of checking your iPhone for messages time and again is somewhat like hitting on a cute chick while your girlfriend is in the bathroom then read on.

A study about students using their iPhones showed just how legit iPhone addiction is these days. Apparently, nearly half of the respondents of the study admitted that they are so crazy about their Apple smartphone that the thought of selling an iPhone might (probably) give them a heart attack. And despite the accusation that what the tech giant charges for their smartphones is highway robbery, students are professing that their love for the Apple brand and their prized iPhones is too much to measure. In fact, some three percent of the students said they never let anyone touch their iPhones and eight percent of them said that their iPods are getting jealous of their iPhones because of the attention they give to them. Creepy, but true. Take this short quiz to find out if you need to sell your iPhone for cash now.

If you got 5 to 7 points you may have to think about selling an old iPhone for now and try taking a break from your iPhone usage because you’re almost getting to the point of no return. On the other hand, if you got 8 to 10 points, you have got to stop tapping right there because you, mister, are in big trouble. The ultimate advice? Sell your iPhone for cash and free your mind!
