No it is not. Where the heck did you pull that out of? It's a micro-controller on the battery that's tied to the phone. The micro-controller only provides the sensor on the phone that measures battery health a connection on first power. If that's what you mean by cryptographic handshake blessing then fine. It doesn't matter if the battery is original or not. The point is that the phone can't verify the health of the battery if it's not the first time the battery has been connected to something. To provide information on the battery's health that is inaccurate could be dangerous.

but in your previous post "third party batteries ... literally missing a sensor".

because its not crypto paired with Gas Gauge, yet somehow every laptop one the planet has zero problem reading cycle count on multiple batteries despite battery swaps.
Do you have a family member working at Apple by any chance? :)
Are you seriously arguing that my simplification of the process somehow invalidates the point I'm making? We can go into the entire process and it wouldn't change the point at all.
It has nothing to do with crypto-pairing. And every laptop on the planet reading cycle counts means nothing when the battery health being displayed is more than just cycle counts. It's cycle counts, discharge rates, and power consumption. In order to have an accurate reading, you need history for all 3 of those things. If you start with a used battery, that history will be inaccurate.
No, I don't have any family members working at Apple and, no, I do not work at Apple either. I just absolutely hate disinformation because it's literally everywhere. People jump on the anti-Apple train with so many bits of misinformation and ignorance that it boggles my mind. Out of all the companies out there, Apple seems to be the only one that cares (or at least that pretends they care) about things like privacy, security, and sustainability and they're the only ones that take active measures around those things. I want to support companies like that so I do.
I know this will sound like it's coming straight from 1600, but could you refer to an authority of some sorts that explains this. an expert or independent body or NPO. this could very well be similar to the net neutrality debate.
