iPhone may be dying; what replacement to get? (alien.top)

Old broad here. I've loved my iPhone 7, but it's not holding a charge ... may be dying. Don't need anything fancy. I play a couple of games, text, call ... a bit of surfing ... not much. What do folks recommend? I want to stay with an iPhone. The 15 seems like a lot for someone like me ... and I heard it has issues.

Thank in advance.

Edited to mention it's 128 GB.

A lot of people are saying SE but I won’t recommend SE, it won’t feel much of an upgrade either and battery life after few months is utter disaster. If you plan to play games or take a lot of photos, it tanks the charge really really quick. After 2 years now, I think i have to full charge my phone minimum twice to thrice a day and move around with a power bank. If you ask why do I still use it if it’s this bad, i don’t have the money to upgrade at this point of time but I am planning to get a battery replacement and I really love the form factor of the phone. Its so so handy and fun to use. Go caseless and its the best feeling phone in your hand. And it gets updated frequently so there’s always new and fun things to look at.
