It's quite easy to replace the battery yourself. You can buy a kit with a battery and all tools, follow the included instructions, watch a video tutorial if you need.

I've done this twice. My OG SE's battery is at 98% health right now and easily lasts me a day and a half except for days where I navigate with GPS.
It's a huge advantage for bike touring: I can charge this thing with a dynamo in a couple of hours because the battery is only 1600mah. That's less than a third the size of the battery in the current Pixel 6/6 Pro.
Isn't it also possible to just pay Apple like 30 bucks to do it? I thought battery replacements fell into a special category
$49 in the US for iPhone SE (1st and 2nd gen), 6s, 7, 8; $69 for iPhone X and later:

$30? I thought it was $85
It's the perfect size of a phone, I've considered seeing if someone can replace the battery and the home-button.
