Considering the phone is supposed to be water resistant I don't think it's as easy to do it as people think. Sure, you’re definitely paying for more than just an OLED panel. Apple just replaces the entire front of the phone to streamline the repair process.

Battery re-calibration is done for my iPhone 11 , 15 months old .. Just increased the battery health from 83% to 84% .

A lot of sources say get a new battery at around 80%, but Apple’s guidance says from iPhone 11 onwards, there are new processes (and hardware I think) that actually stop performance throttling so it’s no longer an issue.

Just like u/zmwright87, it’s a waste of money.Definitely your guys choice to drop $70 on a new battery but it makes zero difference.
