I'm thinking about buying an iPhone 5s from eBay. I'm wondering how long until the battery is likely to give out. I *do* understand that the seller probably doesn't know (or won't say) how the phone has been used, so there are no guarantees. Rather, I'm looking for a repair person who has replaced enough batteries to have a rough average. If the average lifetime is, say, two years, then maybe I will look at different manufacturers.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
