Replacing the battery is $29, parts and labor (for this year).

That was a special because of the throttling the normal battery replacement is more than that.

Yeah, but it’s not like it was $150 before. Compared to a new phone starting at $650 or so, even $89 (old price?) is a bargain.

(Obviously the new phone would have other benefits, but it’s a big price jump. Even for a refurb.)

You could get a mid tier new phone for 200 which will be better than a 2 year old phone.
