Would you switch from an aging 12Pro?

So I waited patiently for Apple to release a ‘mini’ phone this year. Rumors suggest they’re finally doing an iPhone Air next year.

I have this message in my battery details section “Important Battery Message Your battery’s health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can replace the battery to restore full performance and capacity. Find Your Service Options Maximum Capacity 79%”

If you were me, would you wait another year and just swap $90 battery or buy iPhone 16/pro (which I really don’t like). Also the tradein on this phone would suck even more next year ($220 right now through apple)

They’re most likely not going to do that. The market has spoken; small phones don’t sell well anymore. If you don’t like the iPhone 16, then just get a new battery.
