To answer your question Füleky László Apple's [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624|Vintage and obsolete products] listing still is missing the MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) but time is ticking! This series was discontinued October 22, 2013. Apple tends to add it to the list five years after the last sale so let's say January 2014 so its about to be entered! So you still have a chance to get a REAL Apple battery but once its on the list that’s the end of it!
