All non-rechargeable batteries lose their performance over time, and unfortunately for iPhones there is no difference. Batteries that have been active for several years may need to be charged more or less and suddenly stop working.
In a particular case of iPhones, Apple claims that its batteries last about 500 cycles, so they should be replaced by then. Fortunately, iOS doesn't tell you how often you charge your battery, but there are some tricks that will help you know its status.
In fact, with the iOS 11.3 update of its operating system, Apple has made it easier for its users to check the battery performance of their iPhone and know if it needs to be replaced.
