Wondering it if it truly is the battery or if Apple has pushed out software updates that are essentially making the phone useless now.

I've had the 7 for about a year and a half and when I upgraded to iOS 13, my battery has been doing weird things. Started with depletion quickly (eg: using it for 10 minutes will result in ~20% battery depletion). Then sometimes when you plug it in, very quickly it seems to charge up a bunch. Then the last 5% will take about 40 minutes. All in all the battery life has gone to crap. I had the 5 for about 5 years, so to feel this one happening after only a year and a half was puzzling. I didn't find much googling, but I wonder if we're experiencing the same things.
