I do at least one battery replacement on all my iphones. It extends the life by years IMO. I'm currently coming up on 5 years with my current phone and it's still on the first battery. Seems iPhone battery tech has gotten better.

Same same, 12 mini here (with small battery), still going strong, but I have to say, I have chargers everywhere and when traveling I grab one of my Makita batteries with the USB cap which can charge it 6-7 times (5 Ah). So honestly I wouldn't know how long the battery actually lasts, I suspect less than a full day, or just about a day.

Battery is at 78%, as Apple says: Degraded considerably...

I hope to get it a new bat when I goes to my son in a few years. Really hope the new SE models are the mini form factor...

It has, they don't intentionally ruin your battery when you plug it in at night now at least.

It's pretty common knowledge that most (not all) batteries shouldn't be charged past 80%. Which isn't really true either, but it has to do with voltage going up when the battery gets hot, meaning overvolting your battery and causing bad things to happen.

I'm disappointed in my Fairphone 4 not having an option to limit charge to 80%, though the battery is very replaceable.
