- For adulterers, the iPhone 7 is dead on arrival, primarily thanks to its lack of any significant security improvements
- Over 75% of 1,000 adulterers would purchase a new phone specifically for their extra-marital liaisons if it introduced new security features
- The iPhone 5/5S/5C is the most popular phone of choice for adulterers, owned by 17% of those surveyed
- The results come from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people
The iPhone 7 might be hogging all the headlines, but for one community in particular, it’s bound to be a crushing disappointment.
IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, has found that the iPhone 5/5S/5C is the most popular phone among adulterers, with 17% of a survey of over 1,000 people claiming to browse the site on one of the iPhone 5 devices, but there’s nothing to suggest that the iPhone 7 is going to surpass its younger siblings anytime soon.
“The announcement of a new iPhone is of interest to so many people nowadays, not least adulterers,” explains the site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant.
However, the new iPhone 7 announced just yesterday doesn’t shake things up significantly when it comes to the security department.
It’s a huge missed opportunity for Apple. A phone can often be the Achilles heel when you’re conducting an affair. Maybe you leave it lying around on the coffee table, or your partner sees a call, text or email come through from someone they don’t recognize.
There’s a myriad of sensitive and private data that could easily give away your movements and intentions.”
It’s no surprise then that over 75% of members surveyed said that they’d purchase a new phone specifically for their extra-marital liaisons if it did enough to improve its security measures even further.
Whilst stats from the married dating site show that over 50% of all traffic is from mobile devices, 35% of which being Apple devices, there’s little to suggest that the iPhone 7’s imminent release is going to change the game.
It’s not all bad news for Apple however, as a phone from the iPhone 5 family is evidently an adulterers dream.
“A trustworthy brand, fingerprint technology, and in the case of the 5C, a low price, one of the iPhone 5 family is an excellent and popular choice for the adulterer who isn’t looking to splash an exorbitant amount of money on a 2nd phone,” explains Grant.
“While there are even cheaper alternatives, particularly brands like OnePlus or Huawei, Apple have the branding and cachet that few others can match.”
