    I wait until the battery is no longer useful. Unfortunately, the iPhone makes it difficult at best to DIY a battery change, at worst expensive to have it done officially. Taking care of a battery gets it to about 4 years, and then you’re looking at Apple ending support not too long after that. Decent enough time to switch out phones.

      With all my phones the battery and system just start going weird around the 3 year mark. That’s usually when I get a new one.

        Yeah, my battery is down to about 4 hours of use. I wish I could just stick with this phone, but I can’t keep up with its charging needs
