I’ve had an iPhone 12 mini since launch and the battery life has become pretty abysmal. However, I’m reluctant to replace it with a newer, bigger model. My battery health is sitting at 86%, which really doesn’t sound that bad, but I feel like the actual battery life is way worse than when I bought it. Has anyone replaced their battery around this percentage, and did it give a noticeable boost?
I use an iPhone 8 Plus and replaced the battery twice at around 79%. The first was cheap—$29, I think, because Apple was caught throttling performance unbeknownst to users, so they had to make it cheap. The second upgrade was $49. Both def well worth it because performance & battery life were noticeably boosted, the phone still rocks, and it beats the hell out of having to buy a $1000+ every few years.
