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?

Wait, have you regret replacing your battery or was it a good thing you got it replaced? Good move with 14 Pro Max though I think it’s too big and heavy for me.

I regretted paying the 100€ cause the issue seems to have been software related. If I had done the software reset before the battery swap I'd theoretically get a good enough battery life that I wouldn't consider the swap.

Buying the 14 pro max is unrelated to the apple store experience but it was the best solution for me in the end.
