Does replacing the battery in iPhone 6s actually help?

I have an iPhone 6s that is still in great physical condition. However, the battery life is terrible and I have to charge it 3 times a day, and that is with minimal use. I also keep experiencing unexpected shut downs. I am just trying to decide if it is worth just replacing the battery or upgrading to a newer phone??

Thanks!

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

The replacement battery will be to the same specs as your original battery. So in terms of getting back your original battery capacity, yes, it should restore it to the state (in terms of charge capacity) it was when new.


But your iPhone 6s is still going to be a 6s in terms of capability and performance. It will just be a 6s with a full capacity battery again. Batteries wear out, and always will. They are the one consumable part of an iPhone.
