What iPhone should I upgrade to? - 2

I'm updating my iPhone 7 this week because the battery life is horrendous and can't decide what iPhone to upgrade to. It will be a 2 year plan so I'm not sure if it is a bad idea to go with the iPhone 8 plus but I'm considering it for battery life. I have heard the iPhone XR is better than the 8 plus but has a worse camera and display. The prices of the 8 plus (64gb) and XR (128gb) are much better than the XS but I'm considering that as well even though its $20-30 more per month. My biggest concern is battery life as my current phone needs charging by lunch and I can't stand it. I'd also want a good camera and storage but it seems i can't get all three of these in one device and comfortable move up from the 7. Any advice if you have had any of these devices would be appreciated

Get an 8 apple pushes the 10 to much

No

I think you heard wrong.

The XR has basically the same camera system as the XS, just minus the telephoto lens. So it is better than the 8 Plus. The display is lower resolution but better otherwise.

The 8 Plus & XR both are great on battery life so I'd call it a tie there.

As far as storage that's really up to you & the storage options for the 8 Plus & XR.

Could also go a cheaper route & simply replace the battery in the 7. It was $29.99 until 2019 but now the price raised back up.

If it were me, I would get a new battery for the phone. Then keep saving my money until the phone prices change in spring break or summer/fall when school lets out/starts. That way you can pay the phone off sooner, since it sounds like you can't get it without making payments.
