I know I still have an iPhone 8. Just Updated to version 16. Unless I keep it on the charger craps out a few minutes after use. of is it telling me I need to replace my battery. Never had a problem before but it is an old phone.
iPhone 8, iOS 16
You may have a poor battery condition which cannot provide sufficient power for peak performance. What is the Battery Health of your iPhone? Open Settings ➔ Battery ➔ Battery Health and let us know which percentage you see for Maximum Capacity. Also note what is written under Peak Performance. If your battery's Maximum Capacity shows a value of 80% or less, then it has gone through its lifecycle and therefore should be replaced, according to Apple.

Thanks for your reply. The battery capability is at 83%. The notes under battery reformers indicate I am experiencing these unexpected, shut downs. And from what I’ve read and out of other articles, it does seem that my battery is kaput. So I guess I’ll go to the Apple Store to get it replaced. It does seem I can buy one from Amazon, but for me doing it myself might be not the best thing. Again thanks for your help.
You are welcome.
I recommend that you get the battery replaced at the Apple Store like you mentioned. These batteries are not designed to be user serviceable.
