According to survey results published by refurbished products site Decluttr, many smartphone users based in the United States don’t know very much about their own phones.

Decluttr’s survey polled 2,000 U.S.-based smartphone owners of all ages (18+). The results present a sobering look at just how little smartphone users seem to care about what phone they’re using, how it works, or what features it does or does not have.

On the Apple front, only 14 percent of iPhone owners know their phone features an NFC chip and only a little less than half of iPhone users know their smartphone is water resistant.

The most alarming result from the survey is how many people think their smartphone supports 5G connections. About one-third of respondents think their smartphone can connect to a 5G network, even though it most certainly cannot. What’s worse, of those people who say their phone is 5G ready, a whopping 62 percent say that they’ve seen a notable speed increase while using 5G — even though they have likely never seen 5G service.
