Isnt gonna solve the problem entirely but will make a huge difference. Cant say anything about the iphone craze in US but at least here most change their mobile only when issues pop up and repairs get too expensive or impossible.
It's not even everywhere in the US, where I live there are people still using flip phones out of necessity.
And I've only really ever changed smart phones twice myself, new phones are just too dang expensive.
