The value judgment of "not worth it" is relative to perceived improvement in getting a new phone, but for many people the judgment is "can I get a new phone for $69?" Outside of carrier subsidies in the US, that's still not possible.

- llbeansandrice 3y agoWhy would you switch platforms, form factors, OSs, etc. for +4x the cost of a battery in the ecosystem you already know?
- KeplerBoy 3y agobecause that iphone 6s is EOL no matter the battery. If you don't want to drop the money for a recent-ish iPhone you have to switch. Not that 1000$ are a bad deal for an iPhone that will easily last you 4+ years.
- jl6 3y ago$250 for a new phone that has some more modern features, but is still "low-end". versus $69 to keep a premium-at-the-time iPhone 6S alive.
