He actually wants a new one. But his wife refuses to get one untill the old one breaks. She won't even let him replace his 5 year old phone because she thinks it's a waste of money.

then leave it be, its wasteful to bin stuff that still works, just because you want a new one, or her does, you would probably annoy or hurt her more if you start breaking shit so you can get new things, some people like to save money, rather then spend it of frivolous things, "if it aint broke dont fix it", imagine the sheer ammount of shit people already toss away then think if everyone followed that way and just binned things cause they wanted new stuff, no wonder we are running out of space to dump are rubbish.
