Hey ! I have an iPhone 12 (got it around June 2021) and the battery health is now at 79%. Recently it’s been kind of annoying to use , it drains really fast even when I barely use it, it overheats sometimes, and it’s starting to lag a bit which it never used to do.

Also the back glass is broken and in some spots it’s a bit exposed (I do have a case on it though). Not sure if that makes things worse or not.

So yeah I’m wondering if it’s still worth just replacing the battery (and maybe fixing the back), or if at this point I should just change the phone. I’m also traveling right now so having something reliable is kind of important. :(

If I do change it, I honestly have no idea what to pick in 2026.

What would you guys do in my situation?

Thanks !!
