iPhone battery die? How does a $7 repair kit sound?

Should your iPhone battery die, you have but so many choices. You can send it to Apple to have it replaced for a cool $85, or you can drop $7 and change on this do-it-yourself kit. It comes with all the tools you’ll need to get the job done, including a highly sophisticated pry bar and, natch, the battery itself.

I honestly don’t know, do iPhone batteries die very often? I don’t want to get one next week, and find out that in six months that battery is shot. I thought goods were supposed to be durable.
