I feel like the elephant in the room is that there's no phone battery that's going to stay useful in anywhere close to that time frame, and replacing phone batteries is usually a losing proposition. I've tried, several times. Fake, low-quality batteries are rampant (usually degrading within weeks), and genuine ones are prohibitively expensive -- usually a significant fraction of the cost of a new phone.

According to https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/battery-replacement battery replacement for the iPhone 6s which came out 7 years ago is $ 69.

which is about what an iPhone 6s is worth. Repairing such an old phone is not worth it.

The sweet spot would be putting a new battery into a 3 year old phone to get another 3 years out of it.

Sure, that's the iPhone 12, and it costs $ 99 to replace the battery.
