I am a cheap customer using the fifth battery in my very old Nexus 5.

What Apple says is exactly correct. Battery replacements never hold charge as well as the original battery (in my case no longer manufactured). And spare batteries are of lesser quality.

They are also very cheap, about $9, so I don't care if I have to charge the phone twice every day, until it dies.

However, knowing the sue-for-anything culture in the USA, I back Apple on this one. The message about the battery is accurate, according to my own experience.

Now, the shenanigans with their special screws and tools, the everything glued inside, and removal of the audio plug, I will always be against.
