User level: Level 1 (4 points)Looking to purchase an original Apple IPhone 13 Pro battery. It’s a gift for a friend who resides abroad. Apple support and Best Buy said they couldn’t help unless I brought them the phone. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks!

There are iPhone 13 Pro batteries for sale in the Self Service Repair Store.

Note that Self Service Repair "s intended for individuals with the knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices." If your friend is not skilled at repairing miniaturized electronic devices, does not have the other tools needed to repair the phone correctly, or wants to be able to take the phone to Apple for other repairs, having the battery replaced by Apple or an Apple Authorized Repair Facility might be a better option.

Check here:
Genuine Parts Distributor - Apple Support
Note that a listed distributor there can sell both aftermarket and genuine parts, so you have to look closely to make sure the one you choose is an Apple Genuine part.
