Question

so finally after three years this day has finally come battery health officially under 80% for my ipad i used ipad mini before sold that one at 1000+ cycles and 84% battery health.

i used this ipad mainly for pubg mobile/bgmi from day 1
used this bad boy so brutally you won't believe sometimes 100% charged plugged and continues 10+hours pubg mobile + bgmi sessions and sometimes 3-4 times charge in a single day

although i am kinda amazed the cycles are so much low prolly because from last 1 year i mostly use it plugged because it was giving only 2 and half hour gaming session at 86% bh from 100 to 0 in full brightness

Few Things i want to tell before i ask for opinions

Ipad is on ipados 18.7.7 and still freaking fast , snappy, lag free, and freaking beast 120 fps constant in gaming no issue at all and i am not going to update ipados 26 anytime soon until ipados 27 come

now opinion time

should i go for m4 ipad pro 11 700$ for 95+ health used
should i replace battery on this one costing around 160$
or should i just keep using it until 70 battery health or major drop in performance ?

every opinion is welcomed with open arms and thanks in advance
