Considering all the comments I’ve seen about their phone basically falling apart it kind of sounds like you should just get an iPhone SE and factor in a battery replacement after 3 years. Day one updates for 5 years and I am severely doubtful you’ll have as many hardware problems if you don’t damage it. Better camera, too.
If you had gotten a high quality phone from another manufacturer it is unlikely you would have had this many hardware problems requiring a replacement. This seems like a toss up.
