Almost new iPhone SE with battery issues

"Almost new iPhone SE with battery issues: [...]The battery has gotten progressively worse recently, having to charge multiple times a day, so I probably need to get it replaced. [...]I'm in a difficult time financially and need to save where I can, unless it's foolish to do so.: Thanks for your experience and advice!"

Any Nearby Retailers::

Taking mine to a local retailer was no more that 15 USD for battery replacement - it's a 6 years old iPhone. After 4 years, I had its battery replaced for 15 USD at a local retailer - Its been great for the last 2 years. Point being - take it to a retailer - particularly one that has good rating for replacements.

Everywhere I look, Apple's prices are no more than non-Apple shops.

I would also restore the phone back to factory settings and only install absolutely essential apps by hand.

Here is a guide for those steps:

Sorry I was asking TheLittles.

Some third party battery replacements will not provide that data.

About genuine iPhone batteries 

Your battery should have been ok til it got to 80% if it were not for the shutdown warning.

The bottom line? Any time you have your phone serviced by a non-Apple Authorized service center, they will always be using non-Apple parts. For batteries, this is not necessarily a bad thing, you just need to be aware of that.

"does battery health still work?"

Nope - I replaced it last month. (After 6 years and 2 mo. of use).

As for viewing the Battery Health- it is as 98% - typical and standard for a newly-replaced battery.
