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.
