Reply to comment by angeluscatalan in 50-60€ to change the battery in a iPhone 7. Still worth it? by angeluscatalan

Planned obsolescence comment is on point. I’m also sticking with my phone until the rest of its hardware actually breaks. It keeps up with anything not absurdly processing intensive, so I see no reason to replace it lol Hopefully with a bit of luck your phone will last a couple more years, by then an upgrade to an SE or something won’t be too expensive anymore

My 7 works fine, more than any budget Android. If it works, why change? That’s my point of view.

I dont know if the other components will last. Maybe i am lucky maybe im not.

I opened this thread to help me and take a decision. Probably i will delay again and hold the 7 until it dies another component.

Thank you for your help

No problem! Always happy to help Also, if you don’t want to replace your battery, a good portable charger might be 20-30 dollars, however it will be more weight to carry around.

I have an old external 2000 mah battery stopped for years. I will test it if it works and will be useful in some work shifts.
