Took my phone out of the case a few days ago to wipe it down and discovered this. I have no idea how long it’s been like this since I haven’t taken it out of the case in a few months. I reached out to my carrier (yup, I was still paying for insurance on it) and they sent me a refurbed iPhone 13 in 2 days for a $75 deductible. So far I’m enjoying the 13. I quickly adjusted the size and the battery has lasted a full day. I had been planning on replacing the battery on the mini a second time, but I think this scenario worked out better.
It was a good 5 year run!! I bought the 12 Mini new in March of 2021.
