And 81% is not actually so good. When I went to Apple last year with my 6S Plus for their battery replacement offer my battery's capacity was at 84% and they said I would definitely qualify for the $35 Canadian battery replacement they offered until the end of last year. But even at the regular price your sister would probably get a lot more enjoyment out of your old iPhone SE if you or she were to get the battery replaced.
