Hi, I have had my iPhone XS 64GB for about three months. The battery health reports 100% and number of cycles are about 25. The phone is in perfect condition. I now have a chance to replace this phone with a brand new one, exactly the same. Any point in doing so? Thinking I might get an improved battery for the longer term. In case I do, I need to reinstall everything and replace the eSIM installed. Thoughts?

Other than what you said, I don’t understand why you would want to replace your phone that’s ‘Perfect’ without defects and the battery is 100%, with a new one? I mean, you could be taking the risk that this new phone might have a defect that you don’t know about. If it was me, I would just keep the phone that I have that’s already perfect as it is.
