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.

Disagree that battery replacement is prohibitive. Current cost to replace battery on my iPhone 12 Pro Max is $90 ($100 for a newer one, $70 for older ones).

I definitely replaced batteries on my family's iPhones when they ran the discounted battery replacement special. My phone is at 85% health and still manages to get through the day but paying $90 instead of buying another phone is a good deal for me for say, 2-3 years of additional use.
