Just remember to back up as there is always the chance that something goes wrong and they have to replace your phone.

Remember if they replace your phone, the new phone won’t be on iOS10. Plus I don’t think you can restore a phone with a newer version of iOS from an older version of iOS backup so you may run into issues with your data..

Not true. You can restore from backup from an older iOS. You can’t restore from newer to older.

Meaning you can’t restore a backup from iOS 12 onto a device with iOS 11/10

My son was replacing battery at Apple store. Something went wrong and his old phone (with new battery) did not boot. They gave him refurbished phone at no cost. So, even if you are "only replacing battery", you can end up with refurbished phone - with current iOS. That's why the warning from others.

I’m saying if something goes wrong, you’ll receive a phone that’s on a newer version of iOS

So, I’m right? You can’t restore from newer to older
