iPhone consumes electric power more than a refrigerator

A new report shows that the iPhone consumes 361kWh of electricity per year , and comparison, the average refrigerator consumes about 322kWh of electricity per year .


She consumption refers to the total power required for the device to have wireless connectivity for data download and use , and the battery charge , according to the results of the institute Breakthrough.

But it's nothing compared to other information and communication technologies which consume about 10 percent of the world's electricity . Current trends show that over broadband, the figure could be higher.

IT sector spends much as "cloud" services can not be excluded , so it is very difficult to reduce the need for electricity for this segment of consumers .
