The battery in SWMBO's iPhone has swelled. Not surprising as it
is ANCIENT (6s).

She is asking for it to be replaced: "I *like* that phone!"

Is this actually worth the effort, given that batteries are likely
knock-offs (dubious quality) and disassembly/assembly is undoubtedly
a lesson in fumble-fingers? And, what's the likely life expectancy
of a "new" battery?

I've offered her either of two phones that I use but "they're too big".
Exactly what is it that she has?
Apple likely has a phone of that approximate size.
Or, use one of the other phones, here. I see very little difference
in size, weight, etc. "Creature of habit"
(I'm also not keen on having to field her comments as to "Why X doesn't
work like it USED to...")
(sigh) The land line was SO much better (for our uses). But, they just
aren't maintaining the (below grade) copper any more.
[We had a pair of uniformed officers show up, unannounced, in the wee
hours of the morning -- hands on holsters -- inquiring who had called
"911" from our residence. "Huh? No one." They claimed that they
often get false alarms from neighborhoods with buried services... as if
a series of snap-crackle-pops appeared to be 911 dialpulsed (I'm not
quite sure how that translates into 911 and not 823 or 645 or 15276...)]
