Do “genuine” iPhone batteries swell like that?
Long story short. Was on trip with my girlfriend. In late December 2023 she got her iPhone 11 battery replaced in official Apple service in Hague.

Apple Support is Sending Device Only for Express Replacements
I recently had an Apple device in need of replacement. So Apple put a hold on my credit card the cost of the device until I shipped them the new device. The cost of the return was just a little bit more than the actual item itself. Which was weird, but it’s only a credit card hold. As long as...- jumpcutking
