5 Signs You May Be Addicted to Your iPhone

by Jon Beattie

iPhoneIn a meeting last month Katie accused me of having a Crackberry addiction as she watched my eyes flick to my Blackberry when the little red light started blinking to tell me there was a new email message.

She was absolutely right, I loved my Blackberry. So when I got my new iPhone I wasn’t sure I would actually switch to it, as I had played with one the week it was launched and wasn’t sure about the email functionality, which is really my key requirement in a phone.

I could not have been more wrong. I am cured of my Crackberry habit, but it has been substituted with a serious addition to the iPhone. Here are 5 signs you may be addicted to your iPhone.

  1. You check the weather on your iPhone rather instead of looking out the window.
  2. You choose where you get your coffee based on their WiFi availability. You are even considering drinking Starbucks for this reason.
  3. Your index finger is starting to get sore from the touch screen.
  4. You nearly drive into the car in front of you because you were too busy checking Facebook on your iPhone.
  5. Your data usage costs more than your voice calls on your cell phone bill from all the web browsing.
