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?

Yes, and yes. I did this with an iphone 8, I think, which basically gave it a few more years of functionality before the advances to cameras and processors became too great to ignore. I used a kit from iFixit which was pretty easy to use.

FYI: I think the way to gauge your battery is to look up the number of charging cycles it has had. If it's over 1,000, that battery is past its operational lifetime.
