iPhone X Will apple entertain my battery replacement request if my iPhone's screen was cracked?

The screen needs to be removed to access the battery.
They will not remove a cracked screen unless it is for the purpose of replacing it.
Seems fair to me.

Yeah, when I replaced the battery on an old 6s, the first thing they did was inspect the screen. Then they ran some kind of diagnostic looking for any other issues.
Too expensive for the screen replacement. I can find a brand new replacement set (apple) at marketplace from others by just a little bit more.
Is the screen you want to buy OEM? If so, what is the price difference between that and what Apple will charge?
no i never do any repair of my iphone outside. i am comparing the repair price at apple.
to repair the screen, it costs USD316 at apple. but at the price of USD438 i can get a totally brand new replacement set with brand new battery from apple for the same storage of iphone x 256GB. battery replacement for iphone X alone will cost USD75.
this is the reason why i dun intend to replace screen + battery at apple for my this at least 3 years old iphone X. but i want to replace the battery of it becos the battery degradation is terrible now although i got the free battery replacement by apple 2 years ago... prob now is apple may not replace the battery for me if i dun repair the screen first.
but i dun want to let this old iphone X goes into no use eventually becos of the poor battery even i bought a replacement set from someone else.
I don't know for sure, but I would bet that they would not attempt a battery replacement with a cracked screen.
The screen needs to be removed, and is the glass is already cracked, there is a really good chance of causing more damage trying to get the screen off.
Depending on how damaged the glass is already, you might not be able to put it back on anyways. Or at least put it on correctly with a new seal.
