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'm wondering the same thing with 83% on my 12 mini, I've contemplated trying to get a 13 mini but I'm not sure if that's really worth the extra cost. (I wish there was like a 15 mini coming out as I would just hold out, but that seems like a lost cause)

I'm in the same boat. I wish I had known the 13 mini would have significant battery improvements over the 12, as I would have used my previous phone an extra year and held out for that one.
