Does it work with recent water-proof phones? I thought that there's some kind of glue to protect from water.

I don't know, but I do know that if the phone was covered under Apple's $29 (parts and labor) battery program, I'd go that way for sure.

Well, that $29 is only a limited offering. I only recently bought iPhone 8, so, I hope, it'll work few years, but then probably it'll require battery replacement.

It then jumps up to $49.

Still not a huge amount of money given the cost of the phone.
