Does anyone know where I might get a replacement for my iphone? It's several years old and no longer holds a satisfactory charge.

Should be a number on the battery. Google is your friend.
Or search on Amazon.
If you prefer hands-on, Radio Shack usually has the best selection.

If your phone is several years old, then you might be eligible for a phone upgrade with your contract (if you have one).

What model do you have? If it's the original, you can't get a replacement. They will want you to turn in your phone and they will give you a replacement, which has to be a refurbished one since they don't make that one anymore. You will not get yours back. I am trying to keep a charge in mine until the "5" comes out.
I wish it were as easy as popping in a new one.

I'm assuming that the phone is out of warranty:police:.
