Apple Will Replace Select iPhone 6 Plus Cameras Due to Blurry Images

A notice on Apple’s website said the company is offering replacement cameras for a “small percentage” of iPhone 6 Plus smartphones after deciding a component in the iSight camera may fail, causing photos to appear blurry. The affected units are in a limited serial number range and were sold primarily between September and January. Apple will replace the cameras of affected devices for free, it said. To determine eligibility, iPhone 6 Plus users are to input their phone’s serial number in a box on the website. Service options include authorized Apple service providers, Apple retail stores and Apple technical support, but wireless carrier partners aren't participating in the program, said Apple. Phones will be examined before any service to verify eligibility, said the company. Among the disclaimers: Any damage to a iPhone 6 Plus, such as a cracked screen, that impairs camera replacement has to be resolved before repair; Apple may restrict or limit repair to the original country of purchase; the program doesn’t extend the phone's standard warranty coverage; and the program covers the camera for three years after the first retail sale of the unit.
