Hello everyone! Just want your thoughts on a few things.

My current situation: IPhone 7 Plus since 2018 - battery health 75% and thinking of buying a new iPhone.

First case scenario buying a second hand iPhone 12 Pro Max with 84% battery health for 620 USD ( currently have 700 usd budget) would that be a good deal? I plan on using the phone for the next 5-7 years. I also plan on replacing the battery for 100 usd in an Apple approved shop which would cost me 100 USD.

A couple of questions: 1.) should I pull the trigger? Is a 12 pro max gonna be good? 2.) Is it possible to have the 13 pro max battery out into the 12 pro max? 3.) should I just continue to save money to get a 13 pro max eventually for 1,140 USD? 4.) What are the things I need to look out for when buying a second hand phone becuase this will be my first one?

Thank you everyone! Ill appreciate any reply that would help me current situation.

no the 13 pro max is not worth $500 more than the 12 pro max. Just get the 12 pro max then replace the battery
