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.

A friend still uses their iPhone 6 as their daily driver, with its original battery. The battery has lost some capacity, but not so much that they are constantly worried about recharging it.

And yes, I've told them they need to replace it -- for security, if no other reason. But, they are a teacher (a very good and dedicated one, I'll add), and money's tight.
