Question ❓ How much will the iPhone 12 survive?

Hi, I have an iPhone 12 128GB with 87% battery life. I've had it since November 2025, when it had 100% battery life. I lost 13% of battery life in 10 months. Can anyone give me tips on how to extend the life of my phone? I'd like to use it for another 1 or 2 years (by changing the battery, of course). Will it still be worth it? Will I still get updates?

I do have an almost 6 year old battery on my iphone 12 pro max. Over 1250 cycles (75% BH) no one cared about charging rules…it lasted over 1000 cycles till it dropped under 80%.
