im not sure what I’m supposed to be looking at/for when considering getting the $30 battery replacement for my iPhone 6s, but maybe you all can offer some experienced suggestions?

Here’s some screenshots from some pretty marginal free apps that I downloaded.

You can see that my phone is only charged to about 27%, but I’m not even sure what I’m looking for anymore.
Maybe my recent slow down/glitchiness is due to something else?

Those apps tend to give really inconsistent results, however it looks like you probably have less than 80% of the original charge capacity left and with replacements running at only $29 at the moment it definitely couldn’t hurt.

Thank you; I figured it would be more of a “why not” than “should I”, but I don’t even know what’s what for battery usage/capacity. Lol

Thanks again 😉

As someone else alluded to, take advantage of the $29 replacement. Assuming when Apple conducts their own battery test/diagnostic, you should have no problem having it replaced.

I just had my battery changed on my se which was at 86% health. It has definitely been worth it as it has been a lot more stable as in battery drain since. Not noticed any speed differences though.
