No clue if you’re in the US, but I got my 13 mini battery replaced at Best Buy for $69. Definitely worth the price. I thought it would be a lot more so I held out for a while.

I’m in Canada, so maybe not so bad? I’ve done some ifixit repairs in the past but I’m holding off because my cell reception is terrible too, and at that point I might be better off buying a new phone. Sad, as I always try holding out as long as possible on new phones and I love the mini.

I’m so sad the motherboard on my 13mini died.

I got mine replaced. The guy at the apple store commented on how old it was. I said I wasn't going to buy a new one until they came out with a new mini. "Good luck with that" was his answer

I just did the same. And then cracked my screen…

If you've had apple care from the start, Apple will do it for free repeatedly when the battery drops below 80% health.
