Should I replace my iPhone 13 battery or upgrade?

At 73% the decision could soon be out of your hands. If you don't replace the battery very very soon then you run the risk of it swelling and damaging your phone beyond repair - or worse.

I'm still running a 13mini and I got a new battery last month because I like the phone, don't need anything that modern phones offer and I expect (although I don't know - no one here does) it to get security updates for another couple of years. But these are all my reasons for not buying a newer phone. You'll have your own. If you want AI then it won't ever come to the 13 and your 13 has no trade-in value against a new phone. Only you can make the decision but if you decide to keep the 13 then get the battery replaced immediately.

Are there features or options on the iPhone 18 that you really need right now, which are not available on your iPhone 13?

If not, you can get 2-3 more years of use on your iPhone 13 if you replace the battery. Even if you replace the battery and decide to get a new phone in a year, your iPhone 13 will be worth a lot more with a good battery in the device rather than an expired battery.

Share your opinions !!

if you are going to use that phone – or sell or give it to someone else who will be using it – you need to replace that battery right away. (You should have replaced it when the Battery Health first dropped below 80%.)

Have the battery replaced by Apple or by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Prepare your iPhone or iPad for a service appointment - Apple Support

Apple Service and Repair for iPhone - Apple Support

If I were you, I would replace the battery.
