Looks like cycle count, manufacture date and first use date are all new. I wonder if the information will be accurate for aftermarket batteries?

Yup. No such information on my iPhone 13 Pro with an original Apple battery under iOS 17.4:
Going a little off-topic, how old is your battery?
I’m sitting at 80% battery health on my 13 Pro, and the battery life definitely reflects that.
Ha, if only this screen would show the manufacturing date, right?
It's basically brand new, I got it swapped by Apple like two weeks ago.
The old one was reported at 89% iirc, but it felt a bit worse than that. Not terrible, but the new one is definitely noticeably better. I got the phone like a month or two after launch, so the old battery was like 2 and 1/4 years old.
Actually, using a Mac with coconutBattery plugged into an iOS device allows you to see the date the battery was manufactured and the cycle count. I imagine there might be other software to pull this information off an iPhone.
This then raises the question why Apple couldn’t show this information within iOS on older models. It obviously has access to this battery information.
As I said in my original comment. Apple simply refuses to display this information on older devices because they don't want to.
