iPhone users care more about their phone than they do their breath.

Even among feature phone users, however, TeleNav survey showed respondents strong attachment to their mobile phones. Nearly half of all respondents said they sleep with their phone next to them, including 38 percent of feature phone users and 66 percent of smartphone users.
