I typically keep mine for about 3-4 years. I’ve never replaced the battery.

And I’ve never met anyone who replaces their battery after a year and a half. At least not an iPhone.

Most batteries are made in China (or even cheaper places) now, so they simply do not last. I have iPad 2s that still last for MONTHs without charging. Nowdays iPhone batteries start heavy degradation about 2 years in. That 20-25% loss means all day battery to needing to charge at least once before going to bed for many. Source: I replace more batteries now than screens.

I don't think those numbers are right. I am at exactly 3 years on my 13 pro, and I have 92% battery life yet.

I rarely replace batteries. I have three phones in use and 2 iPads. I’ve had this config for 10+ years.

I’ve replaced a battery once.

Maybe I’m just lucky. But I also don’t view having to charge during the day as a problem that I need to fix. Other than just charging it.
