No, the third option is to periodically replace the battery. It's not 
going to be $29, at least not from Apple, but it's not going to be 
outrageously expensive either. Remember, these are phones that are up to 
four years old already. Spending $50 on an after-market battery 
replacement is a heck of a lot better than spending $700+ on a new phone.

This was a good article:

But there is no permanent fix that is tenable. They can't stick a 
redesigned main board into tens of millions of phones. In the article it 
states that Apple is attributing this to a “manufacturing defect”. This 
is not really true. It's a design defect, the manufacturing process was 
just fine. And they've corrected the problem in new models.

I'm reminded of what a vehicle manufacture once said about their 
oil-burning engines. They defined a ridiculously low "normal" rate of 
oil burning and just told owners to keep adding oil. They were not going 
to give everyone a new engine or replace the valve seals in millions of 
engines, many of which were well past the warranty period. It was a 
design flaw that had a workaround of sorts. That vehicle company went 
out of business as consumers avoided their cars and SUVs.
