Anyone replaced an iPhone battery?

Have a 3 year old iPhone 6, battery is shite. Don’t necessarily need/want a newer phone, but I have heard that replacing the battery on the older model will obviously not only help with the battery but performance with the newer OS. Any thoughts or input on this.
I think the cost of a new battery from the Apple store is like $80 and then go to one of those phone repair shops to replace it.

We charge $70, but it takes 5 min.
If your semi-tech savvy, you can handle it.
Use ifixit.com to look up the procedure, it is incredibly simple.
It won't help with the new iOS, this iOS is a hot pile of garbage that Apple has designed with 3rd graders.
It will help with overall battery life...
Your best bet is to find a zero-cycle battery on Amazon, they sometimes come with the tools to change it out as well.

My battery is going to shite and the phones performance has noticeably declined- sometimes takes a bit to load/switch between apps, keyboard may lag behind at first, etc. neither of these last longer than like 3 seconds but still super annoying #firstworldproblems
Should I just go buy a new phone?
When you say “we charge $70”, who is “we”?

Buy a battery for about $25,watch a YouTube video on how to replace it. Won't take you more than 10 minutes.
It's a 2/10 on the diy scale.

I worked at a cell phone repair shop until recently...
The 6's are decent phones...I wouldn't worry about getting a new phone unless you just want one. And you honestly don't need a brand new one either.
Unless you want an iPhone X, I would grab a 7...the 7's are probably the best-made phones since the 4s.
Apple software tends to utilize more and more processing speed and RAM with each iOS update, so your 6 may slow a tad because of it but not lag like your talking about

It's easy to do but also easy to frick up if you break the tabs. Pay the $79 for apple or an AASP to do it with a real battery. There are many things to try to save money on, but a thing that shorts out electronics with improper voltages and has the potential to burst into flames is not one of them.

I have an iPhone 6 and just had Apple replace the battery for $79 plus tax. Phone is like new with zero speed issues

As long as you take the time and are not a woman you won't break the tabs.
