Get a new battery for the 12 PM, then sell it, buy a broken 14PM and have it repaired, then bury it at a crossroads at a full moon.
Dig it up at Halloween, then use the flashlight to light up your jack-o-lantern.
When the battery runs out, charge it, then sell it on Craigslist as the Occult Edition and claim that it is haunted by the spirit of Steve Jobs.
Use the money to buy ayahuasca and go on a Spirit Quest - whichever model of iPhone appears to you in the dream state is the one you should buy.

It would be a noticeable upgrade. I upgraded my wife and son from the 12 pro to the 16 pro. It is a very personal choice do your own pros and cons list and go from there.
I also think this upgrade would be quite noticeable. Nothing wrong with the 12PM, it really depends how much you value the larger screen, better cameras, USB-C port, AI features, Dynamic Island, etc.
If you want something in the middle you can also sell your 12PM and buy a 15PM with a good discount. I wouldn't updrade to anything older than that.

I was in the exact same boat with my 12 PM. Battery health down to 83% so I finally decided to upgrade to the 16 PM opposed to getting a new battery.
Everything I’ve seen in the way of reviews tells me it will be worth the upgrade.
Ship date is Oct 21st as I still hesitated to order on launch day.
Good luck with your decision.

Doesn’t seem that you need the latest for your needs since you had this 12 pro four years now. I was in the same boat and upgraded my 12 pro for 16 pro and I had second thoughts the first week of owning the new one, since it didn’t do anything more that I needed over what the 12 gave me. Should’ve kept it another year.
If possible, try to hold up for another year. You’ll be putting it on the charger more often but it’s only 11 more months till the 17th comes out.
Typically, within 3-4 generations, you won’t notice a big enough difference.
If you’re not paying for it or if you’ve already paid your carrier and are upgrading for “free” then go for it.
