    I’ve kept my phone for 7 years by using this one simple trick that phone manufactures hate.

    I don’t drop it.

      I drop mine plenty. My trick is having a case. I kept my last one till the adhesive on the display failed.

      I dropped mine, breaking my second screen in 20 years. It was a bit pricey but I replaced the screen. Repairing sometimes makes sense too.

      Right with you, fartsparkles, never drop mine and use Spigen armour cases just in case.

    tldr: The 3 “tips” in the article:

    • read and follow the user manual
    • buy expensive stuff
    • maintain and look after said stuff

    … thanks.
