Hey everyone, I'm currently using an iPhone 11 (Product Red) and I've noticed that my battery health is at 69% after about 2100 cycles. Right now, I'm in Nepal where the only option for a battery replacement is through a third-party service, which would cost me around $35. I'll be moving to the USA this fall, and I'm weighing my options. Should I replace the battery now and try to keep the phone for another couple of years, or should I rely on a power bank until Black Friday and consider trading it in for a refurbished model, like an iPhone 13 or newer?

Honestly, I wouldn't wait four months with a battery that bad. Just get it replaced now for $35. You'll have a much better experience using your phone without the constant worry about running out of juice.
Moving to the USA? Better make sure that’s a solid plan. Just saying, things aren't always guaranteed these days. But if you can, evaluate all your options before making a decision.
Just so you know, the iPhone 11 is still going to be supported with updates until iOS 26. If you’re considering getting a newer model, that might not affect you too much. But waiting to see what you can get on Black Friday could be a valid option too.
