I'd like my phone to last 5 years minimum.
That seems to be the new standard for continued software support too. If the phone only lasts for half of that, what's the point?
Replacing the battery on a 9a is a invasive 64-step process(ifixit guide). The kit they sell is surprisingly cheap at $40, but has a list of other tools you need. Its definitely not a project most people will undertake.
the person above is also assuming 0-100% charge every day. most people won’t go through a whole battery charge every day, at least for the first couple years.
