I use it for that, but I use it for other things more frequently.

My last 3 phones have been iPhone, and they suck. Give me a reason why it doesn't suck, and I'll explain how you're wrong.

I'm on my 2nd iPhone. My employer pays for the phone and the global mobile plan. With my own money I would buy a Pixel but I'm happy to use a free iPhone.

As to Prius batteries I would just buy the OEM replacement battery. However, you are unlikely to need to replace it any time soon with such low mileage. They were 12 and 10 years old when I sold them and still got the same mileage as new. The Ni-MH batteries are rock-solid.
