Although they are not $69, these are also not $5 batteries. $15-$20 buys you (for a reasonably modern iPhone) an AliExpress battery that has a one day warranty against exploding and is probably made from materials mined by enslaved children. Apple works hard (though they do not always succeed) to source their materials responsibly and has a large interest in making sure the parts are of reasonable quality. If they start exploding Apple will do a recall, while a random AliExpress seller will just disappear.
