I had to buy a new iPhone because I damaged my 3.5 yrs old XS so bad repairing was not a reasonable option. However I would have just changed the battery and kept it for way longer if it still worked. There are proofs that in the past Apple slowed down devices, but I don’t think it’s a thing anymore (at least if you know about the toggle in the battery settings and are willing to change the battery after 3/4 years). Every modern phone can last 5+ years of you can resist the pressure of marketing (my dad is still using a midrange 2017 Samsung and only started thinking to change it now).
