The economy is getting back on its feet after a lot of time where people were really struggling to make ends meet. Just because people aren’t feeling the strain of the recession as much as they were last year, doesn’t mean that their ‘disposable incomes’ are back. Amongst the many industries that this hurts, new technologies are amongst them. People without a lot of extra cash lying around aren’t likely to spend the little they do have on things like new iPhones.

When you get a new cell phone, you are usually pretty careful to treat it right. Perhaps you keep the device enclosed in a protective cover. Or maybe you make sure not to leave it on the kitchen table or other services where something could be spilled. Or perhaps you invest in some kind of cleaning cloth for electronic devices, making sure to wipe down the cell phone’s screen every night after a long day of use at work and at home. But as time passes by, you become more and more casual. You start to set the phone down and leave it places without thinking. You remove the protective cover. You get sick of cleaning the phone every single night before bed, and soon one day without a wipe-down becomes three, four, six, and soon a week. Dust accumulates. Scratches appear. It sure is not looking good for your new phone!

Technology works similarly to life in that sometimes only a little piece of the big picture needs to be corrected. Maybe you don’t feel comfortable with your living situation, but the only thing you need to fix is your roommate. Perhaps your relationship isn’t working as well as it usually does but once you change your job you start to find yourself happier in your relationship too. Sometimes fixing a little piece of something can fix the big problem and it’s the same with technology as well. You may not need to fix your whole iPhone when the iPhone 2G communications board is the only thing you really need to fix.

Sometimes, people have enough cash to just throw out an older gadget and simply upgrade without thinking twice about the cost. But with a tough economy and more people who are aware of their own financial situations, there’s a lot less wasting and a lot more conserving these days. And for anyone who is serious about conservation, one of the smartest things to do is to figure out when it’s actually necessary to ditch an electronic device, and when something can be done to elongate the lifespan of a particular product.

The iPhone 2g battery has been known to have problems over time, as has any other smart phone battery out there. While you cannot exactly call it ‘planned obsolescence,’ something which damned the automotive industry for years, you can say the technology simply isn’t good enough to last for years and years. They don’t tell you that when you buy an iPhone, but you will learn soon enough. That is the bad news.
