We have an iPhone 6 from 2014, and a 7+ From 2016. Neither of them have serious battery issues, they easily last all day, a couple of days if not being used.

We have an iPhone 4s from 2011 that still has a battery life of 6 hours or so...depending on the game app being used.

With that kind of battery life, I personally don't see the need for user replaceable batteries.
My iPhone 6s did need a new battery. I bought the iPhone 6s when it came out at the end of September 2015. Also, if you iPhone 7+ is running iOS 13, you will not be getting a full day's use before it needs to be charged. I cannot see how your iPhone 6 can last all day. What is it you do with it?
