  1. Handy Ways to Make Your Aging Phone Last Longer WWW.TRAXPHONEREPAIR.IE Every year, manufacturers reveal their newest, shiniest phones, each with one or two incremental improvements over the previous year’s. If your current handset is feeling a little dated, you might be tempted to upgrade—but before you throw away your hard-earned money, try these tips for stretching your phone’s useful life a bit longer. How To Preserve It with a Case and Screen Protector No matter how careful you are, we all fall victim to gravity once in a while. Catastrophe can strike at any time, so keep your phone in immaculate condition with a good case from a trusted brand like Silk, tech21, Spigen, Speck, or OtterBox (who, despite being known for the big, bulky Defender series, also has slimmer cases with fun patterns as well). If you spend a lot of time around liquids, you may even want a water-resistant case like the LifeProof FRĒ—that way, you won’t have to save your iPhone from water damage when it takes a dunk later down the line. Keep the Software Updated…Even When the Manufacturer Doesn’t iPhone users are in a good spot right now: even the old iPhone 5S has been updated to iOS 12, and it’s pretty snappy. Android users, unfortunately, are not so lucky. Even if your phone is only a couple years old, there’s a good chance you’re running outdated software. That means you’re missing out on the newest features, performance improvements, and security updates. Replace an Aging Battery No matter how well you take care of your phone’s battery, it will degrade over time. After a few years, it may not hold a charge like it used to, making it feel constantly on the verge of dying. You don’t need to buy a new phone to get all- day battery life, though—you can just swap in a new battery for everything to feel like new. Repair a Broken Screen Yourself If you’re still rocking a shattered screen from that time you fell off your bicycle (it happens to the best of us), don’t feel like you need to buy a new phone— replacing that screen might be cheaper (and easier) than you think. When All Else Fails, Sell It! Of course, no phone lasts forever, and if you feel your phone’s best years are behind it, it may be time to bite the bullet and upgrade. But don’t toss that old phone into the trash! If it’s still working, someone else may be able to get some use out of it, so sell it on Craigslist, eBay, or Swappa and get a little cash to put toward your next device. (You can also trade it in on Amazon or Gazelle, if you’re willing to sacrifice some return for doing less work.) If your phone’s broken beyond repair, you may still be able to get a bit of money for it on eBay, as someone else will be willing to scrap it for parts instead of putting it into a landfill.
