What price you sell is the new market price. That’s how supply and demand works…..

Why are you selling anyway if it’s such a good phone?

I totally expected to go for official battery change 2 year down the line of my 12mini ownership.

I done it with IP5s and IP8 before, quite cost effective way to extend your device's long term usage.

Though since IPXs, Apple totally locked 3rd party battery out of their ecosystem, thus must went back to official Apple partners for repair. I estimate perhaps RM250 for it. Just checked, it's RM280+100 for labor. Price kind of too steep to me. Hopefully by the time my device aged beyond acceptance the price would have dropped. Or I will have to take chance with non-authorised 3rd party battery...

and you would not be able to monitor your battery health.

For a 3 year old device, not able to monitor battery health no longer concern me as much (at least what I hoped...). sweat.gif

Also, there suppose to have 3rd party solution for cloning the ori battery info onto new battery, but I'm not sure if a laymen end user will want to invest in one for single use, might as well go back to Apple authorised to solve it without hassle (be it unreasonable pricing).

yes agreed. same goes to me but i do prefer to keep eye on battery health from time to time to estimate how long i can stay away from powerbank or charger on my 12 mini. having battery health is not a must but it's good to have.

I'd say official battery is more worthy than 3rd party.

anyone having problems where their battery health degrading rapidly lately? I bought my phone in late december 2020 and now today, then last week drop to 95%. Then 2 days later, 94% then yesterday it already drop to 93%!!
Why is this happpening? Is this normal?

yours normal 12 or 12 mini? as for my experience on mini, haven't face such degrade after months of usage and always use 18w charger and charge at least twice a day. i recommend you use as it is until reach 80% bh then go for warranty claim. oh ya I always update to latest ios right after available too. lasti time my bh drop from 100 to 98. and increase to 99 after update.

ah, okok. I will try this later tonight. Thanks for the tip bro!
Mine is a normal 12. So if desperate case, means i have to deliberately drain my batt to 80% to get the free battery replacement? Will apple check my phone usage? I dont want them to later say, "oh you used this app which is a known killer to your phone so we won't change the batt for free even though still under warranty"
yea, will try later tonight and hope for the best.Thanks for the tip bro!

If you manage to get it down to 80% is enough to justify there's something wrong with you phone. As my experience claiming warranty at Switch no question ask if you can show them what's wrong to the extent they need to repair or replace the parts. As for now MCO time Idk if the scenario changing or not. For precaution you may take your phone straight to nearest AAR ask about this.

<80% within a year is seriously hard to push for, even if you're a heavy user.

looking at his situation, it's possible to reach 80% in less than a year. Might be easier for 12 mini, but if the battery is really faulty, it will get worsening over time.

Same here-  the iphone 12 looks like a great deal if its like RM 700-1000 less.

RM 500 off not so much since iphone 12 and 13 is pretty much identical apart from 64gb vs 128gb size
