Hi, I’m needing to have my battery replaced on my iPhone 12, what are the chances of it wiping all of my data on my iPhone?

Unlikely, but whenever a device is brought in for servicing, Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider reserve the right to wipe a device if they believe it’s needed to complete the service. I just brought in a Mac for a battery replacement. I was told that they didn’t need my passwords (unlike with an iPhone - where I changed it to something simple) but still got asked if I had backed it up.
But they’ll still do a battery service even if the customer hasn’t backed up. The chances of wiping are slim but not zero. I don’t know anyone who had a device wiped. However, there is a chance that they might offer a complete replacement device in lieu of a battery replacement. Even then, they might help transfer the data before taking in the exchange.
