I pray this gets to the top

Good morning everyone
I’ve been a member of Nairaland since 2017 but I was just here as a guest. But today I had to sought for the knowledge of experienced people here on the issues I have been having with my phone. I am using an iPhone X and I started using it August 23 2020 and it has never had issues or I have any had any cause to take it to a repair store. But not the 16 of April I fell down and the screen broke and as I went to fix it the guy changed the screen and said my phone couldn’t on because my battery was not picking charge, and said it need to be changed and I obliged (that was because my old battery has degraded to about 78%) he finished fixing it that day and I paid him 45k both for the screen replacement and the battery replacement. Just while I was heading home, I noticed the phone was seriously over heating and the charge in the battery was going low very fast like from 40% to 30% in 1 minute even without pressing the phone it was still over heating and still charge was going down. I had to wait next day to go back and complain to him because he (the phone repairer) was at onitcha and I was staying at awka (yeah in Anambra state) so I went back and he did what he did and the phone on again (mind you the phone over heated and just died couldn’t power up again). I went home with the phone back to awka and the phone did Same thing again, this time I was annoyed I called him and told him he said I should Bring it the next day again back to onitcha. I did and as I went there he did what he did and again the phone one and was still over heating so he said I should go that he will call me when my phone is ready I obliged. 2weeks down he told me to come a pick it that it’s fine now after series of calls and scolding. I went took the phone again came back and to my disappointment it happened again. It time I wasn’t annoyed I was just weak and tired cause I have not been working because my work really really requires my phone. I decided not to go back to him at onitcha again and I wanted fixing it at awka where I stay cause it’s close to me. Yesterday I went to another guys place and he said the battery that was there wasn’t original and that I need to buy another one. I agreed and bought another battery 10k and fixing is 2k and the phone came on and I was happy just to reach home as I noticed same thing again.
-phone is overheating.
-charge was going down gradually but wasn’t as fast as the previous one.

I am now confused and I yearning for a lasting solution cause I feel like the phone wants to rob me off my joy and work.
Even if I want to sell it I still need the phone to be on and move things mostly my documents that are there of which some I don’t have the hard copies again. I am just frustrated. I have spent close to 65k on the phone and just transport fare, money that is hard to get, for a phone that this is the first time I am fixing it.
I called the man that is fixing it and he said I can come today but due to the lock down and the heavy rain I decided to not to go today but tomorrow.

I really would appreciate any form advice that would lead me to fixing the problem permanently

Ps: I really sorry for the typo errors and the lengthy write up
