Kick it old-school

More than half of the American population no longer has a land line, so keep your old friend around to become one of the unpopular kids. Go back in time to 1993 and add a receiver just for kicks… but make sure you hold back on the prank calls and hang-ups, since your friends definitely have caller ID in 2013.
Your new compact

Your new iPhone is your best friend. You’re going to protect her, cherish her, put a fancy-schmancy case on her and use her only when you need to (which is all of the time). And since you’ll be so busy protecting her, keep the old one at the bottom of your purse to take a second glance at yourself… in case the first glance wasn’t what you wanted to see.

IPhone collecting: It’s the new craze. Start a museum, line them up on the shelf or put them in a collector’s display case to admire for years to come. Just make sure to leave a lot of extra space, so you can add your current iPhone next year.

Back up battery life

Your battery life lasts 10 hours if you constantly use your iPhone… which, let’s be honest, you do. So keep the old one in your purse to use when you’ve got Wi-Fi access and don’t need to make a call.

Forget digital picture frames; you’ve got an iPhone filled with memories. Hang your old phone on the wall and admire your pretty face. And yes, you’ll have to touch the screen every few minutes to show the photo, but that’s just a minor detail you can deal with to keep your old phone around.
And the best of all…
