ive an air2 that my wife gave me in sept of 2015. Lately it’s only lasting a day and just last night I went to sleep with it around 30% and it was dead this morning. I checked the health with coconut battery and it said I’ve lost about 12% in capacity but another app is claiming a 20% loss. Is it worth it to pay Apple $100 to replace the battery or should I think about upgrading to a pro. Other than battery life I’m still very happy with my air2 and don’t really feel like it’s old or slow at all. Opinions?

I didn’t know about them but just looked it up and there’s one 30 mins from me. Are they good?

Going in for my AppleCare battery Replacement. If Apple feels its ok to do what they did. I am giving myself permission to break my iPad pay, the $50 and get a refurbished one that has less battery wear.
Cheapest way really.
