Have you replaced your iPhone battery, and was it worth it?

Have you replaced your iPhone battery, and was it worth it? - Lemmy.world

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 replaced the battery of my iPhone 12 mini and I regret it. The battery health was at 83% but the phone wouldn’t last 4 hours (not screen on time just 4 hours period).

I asked apple if this is expected and they said no and that my battery cycles where high enough where a replacement would make sense. I did the update, paid 100€ for it and the battery life went from 4 hours to 8 hours…

I took the phone back to them and after another look they suggested me to do a fancy factory reset while connected to a mac and without restoring from a backup. Lo and behold the phone went back to normal battery use and is now usable again.

Anyways, I didn’t want that stress in my life so I went with an iPhone 14 pro max and now battery is not an issue anymore.
