So divert the flow to africa maybe? where they do not have smart phones yet? Oh -- they do not have electricity networks there, so maybe sell them with solar chargers.

I did upgrade my phone this year... to an iPhone 13, which I can pay a few dollars a month to AT&T for. And I only did that because my XR's battery was dying. I would have been fine to keep it indefinitely. I see no good reason to upgrade and really, the only reason I had to was built-in obsolescence. A 5-year-old phone should not have a battery that goes to shit. Maybe 10 years old.
