I’m reading this on my iPhone X - and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed owning it. It’s showing signs of aging now - although getting the battery changed by a third party was a bad idea (dust under the screen in front of the front camera, and screen/touch misalignment) - however it’s still good. I’ve ordered my iPhone 14 Pro and looking forward to the upgrade.

If they were original batteries why did Customs think they were knock-offs?

Well he didn’t buy them from Apple, he said that. He also said he bought them from a Chinese manufacturer of original parts - ie. that manufacturer (assuming they are or were a supplier to Apple) is using the trade marks and product designs provided by Apple to create a business selling Apple parts directly to the public in direct contravention of their agreement with Apple (which forbids that). This is fairly common behaviour in China but is still counterfeit. It’s also possible that the manufacturer has never supplied Apple but sells replica parts with stolen Apple branding - still counterfeit.
