Hi Donald, If your phone is no longer under Apple Care I would ask the store for a repair quote, but don't just let them do it. Also look for a third-party repair place in your city with good ratings and then ask them, chances are that especially if you are in a bit of a bigger city you can get the battery and screen replaced for a lot less. I broke the screen on my iPhone 8 which I only got less than a year ago and in this case I had Apple do it even though I didn't buy Apple Care Plus which would have covered such a repair, but I live in a very small town and I was in Vancouver for only 1 day flying in early and flying out at night. During that time I was at a retail trade show and I had only time to grab a taxi to the nearby mall which has an Apple Store, leave the phone for the repair and pick it up on my way to the airport. The repair was $195 Canadian before taxes for my iPhone 8, if you have also an iPhone 8 and not an 8 Plus then I assume it will probably be something like $149 in the US and yes, that is a lot cheaper than a new phone and if you add a new battery it's probably an extra $50 so with $200 you probably end up with an iPhone 8 in great shape which will do you for the next 3 or 4 years if you really want to keep it that long.
