I don't know about other manufacturers but Apple can replace your iPhone 5 battery for $49. That's a 11 year old phone.

Worth noting that it's 80+ for newer models

I much prefer a world where you get Apple to replace your battery after 5-10 years for cheap than one where Joe Schmoe is using a $5 dollar battery from Alibaba which forces a plane emergency landing when it catches on fire.
