New Iphone battery after 3rd party fixed screen.

My son has had his Iphone 12 screen fixed by a 3rd party. His battery is now on 80%. It is ok for now but I'm guessing it will need a new battery sooner rather than later.


Does anyone know if an Apple store will replace the battery (obviously me paying) now that it has a 3rd party screen?


Is there any difference between getting an Apple battery or a 3rd party one.


Thank you

iPhone 11, iOS 18

Sorry to be blunt, but Apple won't touch the phone if they detect that non-genuine parts have been installed by a unauthorized person who has tampered with the phone.


Your only option is going to be taking the phone to a third party shop to have them install a non-genuine Apple battery. The battery health settings will not likely work correctly with this type of battery. They will with a genuine Apple replacement battery.
