iPhone XR iPhone XR wireless charging module failure triggered battery fault message

[iosuser]

So my inlaw got the "unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery" on her 8mos old iPhone XR, which I thought was interesting because the phone is all original being only 8mos old, but figured a battery failure can cause this message. Made an appointment for her, figured that it'd be a quick battery replacement. Turned out the Apple rep determined that the wireless charging module is causing the issue, and the whole phone was replaced. I tried to help her get a backup on my laptop before she brought it to Apple, but the phone kept shutting off in the middle, so unfortunately all her data is gone. Perhaps this will get her to have a regular backup routine.

Has anyone seen this failure before?
