On March 1, 2023, all models currently costing $69 to repair will drop to $89, and all models costing $49 to repair will drop to $69. These prices are still cheaper than what it costs to replace the battery in an iPhone series 14 or higher, which costs $99.
The iPhone 14 model has only been out for a few months, so no one should have to replace those batteries, which is why Apple is leaving that price as is.

Should I just buy a new phone instead?
It just depends on whether you prefer to have a newer phone model or not. A newer model will definitely have better features than your old one. However, it is much more expensive to buy a new phone than to replace the battery of your old one.
