Realistically, it would probably be replaced rather than repaired but even so, when Apple repair something, they do a proper job with the seals and it’s good as new.

You were sailing your model yacht, weren't you?
No dealing outside MM. Banz0r.
Have you tried running it without AOD? I’m still keen to know if it makes much difference to battery life like it does on the Apple Watch.
I’m the same. I don’t do anything to try and maximise battery life. I just use my devices and charge them when I want. Life’s too short to be worrying about whether a phone battery is at 100% or 97% after whenever.
That was a 12 Pro Max and it was a couple of years ago.
iPhone 12 Pro Max - Have I got a duff battery?
Launch day iPhone 12 Pro Max. 89 cycles on the battery and down to 92% battery. This can't be right, surely? Normally my phone is still at 100% when it's a year old.

I couldn’t believe it when I looked back. My 13 Pro Max has 253 cycles, is 648 days old and is at 96%
I would genuinely be interested to know whether using and charging the battery in a certain way actually makes a difference to the battery health beyond the optimisations the operating system already makes. It's difficult to work out because you would need a very large sample size of identical devices with near identical battery chemistry and use half of them with the 'battery health saving' techniques and the other half without those considerations. I am of the opinion if people just used and charged their devices in any old way, the battery health of the device would be basically identical to what it would have been if they were taking care of it. That is based on absolutely zero evidence and pure conjecture.
I think these days that it’s perfectly fine to let a device do its own power management. Life’s too short to be worrying about whether a phone will be at 82% or 84% in five years time.
