I’d get a new battery. Especially when when you live in colder climates since cold has a big impact on your battery. You want to avoid sudden shutdowns

At this point I usually upgrade. Upgrade to a Pro model. Even if you can’t get the 14 series, get the 13. It will last you get you another 3-4 years of great user experience.

Yeah I’m from the uk. But I bought the phone at a reduced price as when I got it I think it was on 80%~ battery health if apple are likely to support my phone for another year or 2 might get the battery changed

You could spend $70 on a new battery and get another year at least, with much better performance than you are seeing now. It doesn't matter that settings says "peak performance". It's not.

I expect that the XR will get iOS 17, but probably not 18. You'll still get critical security updates for 17 during that next year. Hopefully the rumored 2024 SE which appears to be an XR clone will be out by then.

I've said I was going to replace my XR for the past 2 years, but I'm still holding on to it. I still get 5-6 hours of battery on a full charge. I rarely go longer than that without being around a charger, so it's been pretty manageable.

Exactly same here it does everything great for me. Perfect size physically and I only notice it getting low if I’m listening to music all day or on the phone for long periods. 100% battery would probably feel a lot better but it’s still more than capable

Im exactly in the same boat as you! I want to chabge my batteries but only by apple. 3rd party battery i’ve tried is exactly the same as my original used batteries
