Smartphone Myths - Don't Be Fooled

Smartphones are so complicated and delicate. You can destroy one with the slip of a finger, watching it plunge in slow motion into a sink full of water. And then what? A bag of rice? Surely people know that doesn’t work.  Saving your work with printscreen tools can help quite a bit.

Smartphones have been surrounded by urban legends almost since they were invented. Many of the myths have to do with charging the battery, but even some of those are based in fact. Older generation batteries could be worn out if they weren’t fully charged or if you left them on the charger too long. Newer batteries and the technology inside the phones prevent this from being a problem in most cases.

Still, what’s true when it comes to smartphone rumors? Are they really dirtier than a toilet seat? Turns out that one is true. Does removing your SIM card prevent you from being tracked? Turns out not so much. Your phone can still be tracked as long as the battery is in it.

There’s a lot more to learn about smartphones as they evolve and change over time. New technology is always the subject of mistrust. Learn the facts and don’t be fooled by these smartphone urban legends!
