​​🗣How Engagement With Social Media is Changing Sharing and #SocialMedia are often seen as synonymous, but in today’s chart, we take a look at how sharing on social increasingly takes place alongside other, more “purposeful” activities. Internet users continue to share updates of their lives, but do it alongside research for content, work, and products to buy. 🚀@PerspectiveIX ☕️prs.pctvix.co/2M8AAOb

​​📱How Long Do You Have To Work To Afford An iPhone X? The #iPhoneX had a price tag of $999 on launch day in November 2017 making it the most expensive version of the device ever manufactured. Most of the time it was even more expensive outside the U.S. due to sales and import taxes. Even though many feared the phone could flop due to that high price tag, Apple reported better than expected results for its second fiscal quarter in early May. The company is still firmly on course to surpass the trillion-dollar mark in market capitalization. 🚀@PerspectiveIX ☕️prs.pctvix.co/2M8AAOb

​​💡The Offlines! In a time when your entire life can essentially be lived online, there are increasingly fewer aspects of existence which remain untouched by the #internet. Likewise, the number of people that don't use the internet is also decreasing. As data from the ONS shows, though, there is still a fair share of people in the UK that have never used the internet and these differences vary significantly by country/region. In Northern Ireland, 13 percent have never been online, while in London the share is only 6 percent. 🚀@PerspectiveIX 📖 via Statista: prs.pctvix.co/2JvLONX
