What happens if I use a non-Apple charger? Will I still have the warranty on my iPhone? Does it compromise the health of the battery?I was offered a parallel charger, but it will compromise the battery health and the warranty

Well, if the battery blows up, and you are using a non certified Apple charger, you might not have a case when claiming the warranty.
Same if you reverse engineer your car engine and make "modifications".

I think the far easier question to ask yourself is can you afford to replace your iPhone (at cost) should a third-party power adapter and/or charging cable damages your phone? The #1 reason these sell at a lower price point is because they use inferior components. Are you really willing to take that risk?
They can void the warranty. See this excerpt from: Legal - iOS Warranty Canada English - Apple
“This Warranty does not apply… (c) to damage caused by use with a third party component or product that does not meet the Apple Product’s specifications (Apple Product specifications are available at www.apple.com/ca under the technical specifications for each product and also available in stores);”

Just using them will not void the warranty. However, if a third-party charger that does not meet Apple's specifications causes damage, then Apple is not obligated.
What this means in practice is only buy products from reputable vendors. I use chargers by Anker and Belkin. I'm not concerned.

You are safe if you use power sources and cables (yes, both) that are certified as Made for iPhone.

My final recommendation: don't buy cheap adapters. While unlikely, things can go wrong and can go badly wrong (melting phones, batteries, fire). It's not worth it. If you're going to spend $600-$1200 on a phone, pay the $30-$40 for a decent adapter.
It can compromise battery health, so i reccommend only use official chargers or chargers that have the made for iPhone label, they are certified by apple
But they do not void the warranty, absolutely not.. right?
Makes sense, thank you for correcting my information

Does using a non-Apple charger affect iPhone warranty and battery health?
