As Apple will provide more info detailing about (probably) types of iPhone and the criteria to be eligible with battery replacement program, I will too update this article/publish another article detailing the types of iPhone eligible and the eligibility criteria. Alternatively you can check directly yourself at Apple official website here.
Disclaimer: 3rd party price at different places may have different prices for different types of iPhone. If price is your main concern, do compare and check first with respective parties before replacing your battery at Apple.
Do consider the following when replacing battery at 3rd party vendors: it will void your iPhone warranty and the warranty for the battery normally covers only for 1-week while replacing directly at Apple or Apple Authorized Service Center will keep your iPhone under warranty plus additional 3-month warranty for the battery. Different countries and continents may have slightly different regulation as well, do check with local Apple or local authorized service center about the battery warranty and what it covers.
