Half the price isn't bad to get more longevity out of a phone. And a different used phone will probably have to have its battery replaced fairly soon enough, too

    At that point my phone is usually cracked and worth upgrading, but with each phone I go through I try to take better care of it. But so far I've never liked a phone so much that it was worth replacing the battery. But I have bought the exact same model of phone 2-3 times as replacements (esp when I broke one by dropping it)

    This may be the difference here, I have never broken a phone, my iPhone 6 became my dads and is still going, and my current phone is the iPX I bought over 8 years ago.

    You probably need to take better care of your stuff. ๐Ÿ˜€
