How are you able to make your battery last so long? I have an iPhone 12, and up until 6 months ago the battery was easily making it through the end of the day, but now with the same usage pattern I’m charging by noon.

That’s the only reason I’m excited for the 14

Batteries are a consumable. If you're happy with the iPhone 12, just get a new battery for $80 and then you're good to go for a few more years.
iPhone 12 battery is $15 if you install it yourself.
That's true, but all the waterproofing makes it such a pain in the ass that I'd rather just pay Apple to do it correctly and warranty the work.
