Apple will replace smartphones with defective battery

Today, Apple has published an official statement in The New York Times, in which it acknowledged the existence of a manufacturing defect in the “very limited” number of iPhone 5s, which could lead to a drastic reduction in the life of the built-in battery.

Appeal from Apple representatives makes it clear that some of the defective smartphones have already fallen into the hands of consumers, that is, someone else will have to face the described problem.

“We found a manufacturing error that affected the build quality of a very limited number of iPhone 5s smartphones. This flaw can lead to an increase in the charging time of the phone and, as a result, a drastic reduction in the life of the internal battery. If you encounter a similar problem, we will provide you with a new iPhone 5s to replace the old one. ”

The Times newspaper claims that Apple has declared "thousands" of defective devices already on sale. However, Apple does not name any more specific numbers. Considering that more than 9 million new smartphones have been sold to date, several thousand defective devices are really a drop in the ocean, so the company’s representatives didn’t lie, claiming that a “very limited number of iPhone 5s” had been damaged.

Everyone knows that the iPhone battery can not be replaced independently, without contacting the specialized Apple service centers. And if you try to get into the smartphone to bypass all the rules, you automatically lose the warranty. That is why the life of a built-in rechargeable battery is indeed a very important indicator, and Apple’s concerns are not in vain. It is pleasant that the company immediately recognizes the presence of defects in its products and in the shortest possible time tries to eliminate any problems that arise, avoiding the dissatisfaction of its customers.
