It’s $49 for my iPhone 8 Plus. $69 for a newer phone. Considering it as the health is listed close to 85% now.

The 14s are $99, used the worst case in GP.

Battery replacement only really makes sense for 1-2y old phones TBH unless you you’re abusing your phone.

The 'newer' iPhone 8+ probably won't provide a new battery either. So the change is worthwhile, still.
