Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a dilemma with my iPhone 11 (Product Red). Its battery health is currently at 69% after around 2100 cycles. I'm in Nepal right now, and the only option for a battery replacement is through a third party, which would cost me about $35. I'm planning to move to the USA this fall, so I'm considering my options. Should I replace the battery and keep using it for another couple of years, or should I just use a power bank and wait until Black Friday to trade it in for a refurbished iPhone 13 or later?

Honestly, waiting four months with a dwindling battery isn't ideal. Just replace it and enjoy your phone for a few more years! It's a cheap fix, and you'll notice the difference immediately.
Also, keep in mind that the iPhone 11 will support iOS 26, so it should stay relevant for a while, unlike the X, XS, or XR models that are getting phased out. Maybe that helps your decision?
Yeah, that does make it a bit harder to decide, especially since I’m unsure if I should keep the phone or switch.
