I play a lot of games on my iphone, isn't it bad for my battery and what should i do?

i'm at maximum capacity 67% and the battery can't last a day if i play my games. should i just keep charging my phone a few times a day? it's really terrible. i will have the same problem in future if i replace the battery too?

iPhone 11 Pro

Playing demanding games can be hard on the battery.


If you've run down your battery health to 67% by playing lots of games, and you replace the battery, and you keep using the phone in the same way, I'd expect the new battery to get run down by about the same amount, in about the same amount of time.


Whether to replace your battery now, or to keep the old battery a while longer (and recharge it more frequently), is up to you.

Dude. Are you unable to read my quoted sentence? I asked if i should keep charging my phone a few times a day INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE BATTERY. does that mean you're saying "NO I SHOULDN'T KEEP CHARGING MY PHONE A FEW TIMES A DAY INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE BATTERY"?

Have Apple replace the batteryiPhone Battery Replacement - Official Apple Support. How can that be “instead of replacing the battery?” I said REPLACE THE BATTERY.

As I told you several times, 67% is below the 80% that Apple uses as a standard for a failed battery. That is why I told you to replace the battery. But you chose not to believe me.
