İphone 7 freezing Problem

[aaasss]

I have an iPhone 7 and it's time to replace the battery. Sometimes the phone freezes and doesn't answer calls even when charging. It only works again when someone else picks it up. Could this be due to the battery?

Absolutely, it could.

Doesn’t mean that it IS caused by the battery, of course. But troubleshooting is going to be difficult until the battery is replaced.

Could it be worth considering replacing the phone as it is now 9 years old and no longer supported?

These devices must be cheap in your country, I guess. There are people in Türkiye who use iPhone 6s.

Thanks, I'm planning to replace the battery and flash the entire software soon.

It could be the baseband issue
