I'm using an iPhone 8 and its battery health is currently at 73%. I've noticed that the battery drains quickly, especially when using apps like Instagram or YouTube while I'm outside. Since this is my primary phone and I'm a student on a tight budget, I can't afford to buy a new one right now. My parents have a lot of expenses, so I don't want to ask them for a new phone either. However, I can manage a battery replacement. Is it advisable to go ahead with the replacement? I've heard that opening a phone that hasn't been opened before can cause issues and the phone might not perform the same after. Is that true, or is it safe to change the battery?

In India, a battery replacement for the iPhone 8 costs about 750 INR (around $8.31 USD), and a local shop charges around 200 INR for installation, totaling about $10.50, which is a pretty decent deal! Just keep in mind this is for a third-party battery.
I'd recommend going through Apple to replace your battery. They might be pricier than third-party shops, but their work is reliable. Also, if you're struggling with battery life, consider getting an external battery pack; that helped me when I needed extra power!

I replaced the battery on my iPhone 13 and had no issues afterward. If replacing the battery improves the usability of your phone, I'd say go for it!
