    My 13 mini is soon to be at 89%. I’m gonna get the battery replaced instead of buying a new phone. The mini’s are apples best iPhones in my opinion.

      thanks man! the 12 mini's been holding up surprisingly well... btw I got an iP15 Pro too from December 2023 it has 263 cycles and is still at 97%, so 89% on yours sounds a bit low. Do you keep it in a hot place?

      My iPhone mini with 80% battery health. When I’m using it mainly for WhatsApp and RUclips on mainly WiFi, holds for around 2.5 hours of SOT.
      Replacing the battery for a new one, is a must!

      Yes because the battery that was put in is 10% larger than what it is supposed to be (2400mah vs 2200mah) thats why it stays at a 100% for a long time

    • @JoeyMe

      they didn’t tell me but it wasn’t the cheapest one. It has the tag on functionality, a feature that allows the battery to talk with the iphone’s operating system similarly to an official apple battery. So far the shop has been unable to make it work :) so I’ll still see the ‘unknown part’ message in the battery settings

    4:13 why you think they ask more for a battery replacement at Apple? Because Apple gonna put the same original battery inside it that it came with from the start.
    The new aftermarket battery shows good battery health for a while but will decrease quicker in time(not worth it)

    I'm trying to remove the screen from the phone and replace it at home, but I can't get it out. I tried heating the screen corners with a hair dryer and that didn't work either. Is there an easy way to remove the screen from the case? It's really difficult compared to devices I've replaced parts with before. Is there anything else I should be careful about to avoid damaging Face ID, for example

      Im a total noob at repairs but the shop straightup warned me that the 12 series is crazy hard to get the screen off. like they said there’s a legit chance they could crack it. I was kinda sus, like, why are they even telling me this? but turns out it’s actually true

      getting the screen replaced for free? awesome! it’s possible they damaged it while replacing the battery. My shop told me that’s quite common with the 12 series since the display is hard to remove. I’m not sure if it’s true but they warned me about that. anyways good for you. that’s a nice bonus!
