Which is better, changing the battery of my iPhone 8 or buying a new one?

So I have to change my iPhone 8's battery as it's not holding charge as it used to do, but it will cost around £70 so is it worth it or should I just but a new phone? thanks in advance

Buy a new one. That phone is outdated and will likely stop receiving updates by 2024.

Buying a new phone is the best option of course. As @avhae mentioned. It will stop receiving updates as well, so a new phone will be a worthy investment. If you need recommendations or tips on looking for a new phone for a reasonable price. I wouldn't mind helping you find one. :smile:

I have same doubts right now. Broke the screen of my iphone xr and not sure if i should repair it or to get a new one. Was checking different options on https://usedmobiles4u.co.uk/ but honestly have my doubts as i never purchased a used phone before. Anything i should know/ be aware of?
