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?

Thanks. I am satisfied with the performance as I don't do intensive gaming or anything like that. That being said, I'll probably want to upgrade to the iPhone 16 lineup as the screen/camera/etc. upgrades should be substantial by that point, and I know I can't cling to the small form factor forever. That'll put the mini at 4 years which I feel is respectable.

I know I can’t cling to the small form factor forever.

The SE models are still in that size, will be interesting to see if they stay that way when they go to the next Gen.

When I upgraded from the 7 to the 14 I didn't even notice till I got it that the "normal" 14 was so much larger LOL.
