Ever witnessed a teenage tantrum when arriving somewhere beautiful only to find there's no Wi—Fi connection for an hour?
Welcome to It's not a dummy it's an iPhone . We live in a world with more smartphones than toothbrushes, where one in seven of the world's population chooses to log onto Facebook every single day.
