11 iPhone Weaknesses Everyone is Guilty Of

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

With all the iPhone has to offer it’s hard not to use it to its full potential. Do you ever wonder what you’d do without your phone? It’s certainly not a pretty sight. Don’t worry, you’re not alone! We all succumb to these crazy obsessive habits with our iPhones.

1.     Using your camera, or worse – a dark screen, as a mirror in desperate situations

2.     Trying each Instagram filter at least twice even though the chances of you actually choosing Kelvin are one in a million.

3.     Losing your ability to hear and/or speak to others while reading a text

4.     Periodically unlocking your phone because you swear you felt it vibrate or there was a glare.

5.     Tinder.

6.     Staring at the typing ellipses anxiously

7.     Having too much faith in auto correct

8.     Texting and walking until you realize you’re no longer moving

9.     Pretending to be on your phone in uncomfortable situations

10. Taking it personally when people don’t respond to your Snapchats   

11. When your phone’s about to die and you can’t find a charger
