Have you replaced your 13 mini battery? I have a 15pro here but had my 13mini in a dresser and started using it again. God I love this thing. The size is perfect. The battery is 82%. Have you had it replaced anywhere? This might sounds crazy but is there some higher quality type of battery I could buy to do it with that would give me more use? Honestly I think there was just a design flaw with one of the antennas. So long as I'm not using GPS and the cell signal at the same time it doesn't get hot and works well.

Not as yet. I'm on 88% after 19 months use. Likely at 80% I'll get Apple to replace the battery as I plan to keep the 13 Mini long term (had the OG SE prior for 6 yrs), but my charging behaviour has changed anyways due to using tethered Car Play. I did have the SE's battery replaced at around the 5 yr mark but subsequent iOS updates killed it quite quickly.
