Iphone 13 Mini Battery Replacement
So I bought an iPhone 13 mini about 1 year ago, open-box. I really love the form factor, but the battery life has been terrible from the start. When I first got it, the battery health was full, but there was also a message in Battery Settings saying Apple was unable to verify if the battery is genuine.
Because of that, I’m assuming it might have a fake or generic replacement battery. Even when it was at full health, the battery still didn’t last long. My cousin also has a 13 mini, and his lasts him a full 8-hour workday, while mine doesn’t come close.
Right now, the battery health has lowered, but not by much. I checked with some local stores, and they said they can replace it with an original battery for around $100US. Now I know this phone cannot be bought brand new, only refurbished/used, so does anyone get this same message as me? Should I replace the battery? Would it make a difference?
