I bought an iPhone 11 Pro in 2019. I paid Apple $40 for a battery replacement last year. My phone continues to work well, and I'm going to keep it until it breaks.

Apple still pushes updates for the iPhone 8 which was released in 2017, so I expected to get at least two or three more years of life out my iPhone.
