It wouldn’t, OEM batteries can be swapped with no issues, it’s non-genuine parts what causes issues.


On iPhone 12 and moreso on 13, many genuine OEM parts cannot be swapped by anyone other than those authorized by Apple.


AFAIK, that’s only the case for the screen, and there’s a warning when swapping the rear camera.

It’s not just a warning. Functionality is flat out disabled. Swapping parts between 2 iPhone 13s boinks them.


(Some) Functionality is also lost on the front camera, faceid sensor and battery.
