I've been using my iPhone 12 Pro for a few years, but lately, it's been shutting off randomly and then rebooting just a few seconds later, and it always seems to happen when the battery hits 10%. It's annoying because the phone runs fine when it's plugged in, but this issue only starts when the battery drops to 70% or lower. I'm worried this is something I need to fix or if I should just start looking for a new phone.

It sounds like your phone's battery is on its last legs. Since it doesn't shut down while plugged in, it's likely that the old battery is just not holding a charge properly anymore. I'd recommend getting a battery replacement or considering investing in a new phone if it's giving you other issues too. It's about time, right? Just know that it's pretty common for phones after a few years to act up like this!
Definitely look into replacing the battery! When they start acting erratic like that, it usually means the battery management system can't keep track of the charge levels. You can check your battery's health by going to Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging. But if it just prompts you to replace it, that might be a clear signal that it's time! It's also a bummer when you realize how much wear and tear they've gone through.
Honestly, it seems like you either need a new battery or just bite the bullet and get a new phone if it's acting up more than just this. Sometimes, there's just no saving a well-loved device.
