Obsolete Avoidance

The act of putting off buying a current product knowing that a new model or updated version will be released in the near future.

Example 1:

Guy 1: "Hey, I've just bought myself an Iphone 4s!".

Guy 2: "I think i'm going to use Obsolete Avoidance and wait for the Iphone 5".

planned obsolescence

A business strategy where a company plans the obsolescence of a product to encourage the purchase of a newer version of a product. This can be done in several ways, ranging from bad engineering to breaking updates. Apple most famously uses this strategy to slow down iPhones and iPads of 1-2 generations back to encourage people to buy a new more expensive iPhone.

Person 1: "My iPhone is slow! I can't believe it, I have an iPhone 6 which is only 1 generation behind!!!"
Person 2: "Yeah, Apple slows down the iPhone a lot via updates to try and get you to buy a new one. That's called planned obsolescence."

OBSOLAGNIUM

the dwindling of the ol' "urge to merge" with old age; a decrease in one's sexual appetite in old age.

My great uncle Bucksnort did not display any signs of obsolagnium whatsoever. At age 96, he was putting the blocks to Aunt Mabel like a jackrabbit on steroids.
