Battery life

My battery just started this last night on my iPhone 7 Plus. It was reading 65% charged and I picked it up and took a picture and it suddenly powered off. I turned back on while plugged in and it came back on reading 65% and then suddenly dropped to 10%. This keeps happening over and over. When I plug it in it starts charging up pretty fast, faster than normal. 1st time having this issue. Is it time for an upgrade or is this fixable?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 14

Hello!


Check your battery health by opening Settings > Battery > Battery Health

If the maximum capacity is below 80% you have three options:

  1. Just deal with it
  2. Get a battery replacement. More information can you find here.
  3. Get a battery-pack.

One more question? I checked into battery replacement and instructions said if there are any cracks in screen that will need to be fixed too before battery replacement. T or F? I know that’s pretty pricey. I’m on the Next plan and up for an upgrade, thinking possibly that route. What am I looking at on a fix now? $49 battery + cracked screen?
