If your battery health is below 80% and you plan on not buying a new phone within the next year then you absolutely need and should get a battery replacement. Both for function, and safety. Don’t want an expanding battery in your pocket!
Oh man I just checked and I'm at 78% 😭
78% is basically dead. I'd replace that.

I'll probably get something in the iPhone 16 lineup next year, since I do understand I'll eventually have to give up on the small form factor. Battery health shows 86%. Also downloaded CoconutBattery on Mac and it says the phone is at 88.5% design capacity. I'm torn between spending $89 on the replacement or just sticking it out for another ~14 months, maybe using a portion of that money on a portable battery pack which could be used with another device once I retire the 12 mini.
72%, the only thing keeping this 7 Plus' battery alive is powercuff.
