What are the third party options available for staying on the same iOS when replacing the battery?

What do you mean?

As I know A12+ needs to be updated to latest after changing the battery in order to work properly

replacing it yourself and dealing with the 3rd party battery warning

[spice flame]

Any way to do it without doing it through Apple or Apple certified repair places

Which exact battery would I need to use and where is a legitimate tutorial for this? I searched that up but couldn't figure it out hence why I posted

[spice flame]

Are you sure? I've heard of people getting around that

ifixit has good batteries

what phone and ios is this anyways

Oh, ok, that's a whole different story haha

[bold vault]

the only things of note when using a 3rd party battery is that theres always going to be a warning in settings, and your battery health wont show on older ios versions

i think it shows the battery health on ios 18 and 26

and maybe 17?

As @bold vault just pointed out, iFixit is a good place to start -- they also have lots of tutorials for you to check.
