Does apply make sure the phone is still water resistant when the battery is changed? Does third party seal back the water resistant as well?

If you change it at an authorized service centre then I believe they must ensure that your phone's ingress protection remains intact. Of course, if you change the battery at a third party outlet then all bets are off.

In that case, why would anyone want to change it in third party outlet? I think the ingress protection is important. It maintain the water protection rating on the phone.

I sent my 6Plus to do battery replacement. They said that my battery is fine even though I have around 1400 charge cycle. And if the batter doesn't last whole day, it is likely to be bloated. So, they went ahead and take a look and then came back to confirm that it is bloated. Bloated battery they cannot replace the battery and so, they want to send to Apple for a 1-1 phone replacement for RM$239 (forgot exact amount). They passed the phone back for me to think if I want to do a 1-1 exchange. My phone was fine.. and I worry if I exchanged to a refurb one there will be NEW problems in the future. Sometimes, I feel these guys are just lazy! They rather not spend 3 hours to fix and suggest a replacement !

Personally I trust Apple's refurbish units. Apple have very strict policy even with repairs. That is why their phones are expensive. It is much easier for them to change to a refurbished units and then take their time to refurbish yours and use it for next client. This will make sure they take their time to fix the phones properly. Fixing a phone is not as simple as you think. They have tons of phones to repair everyday. It doesn't help when clients are in a hurry to take back their phone.

For the risk of having my phone reset and losing my screen protector and so on, I would rather change the battery myself. It is cheaper anyway. Best for those who can DIY themselves.

Use Battery Life that you can download from Appstore. It is accurate.
