Apple Extends Repair Program for iPhone 12/12 Pro Units with Earpiece Issues
22 AUGUST 2022 - If your iPhone 12 has an earpiece problem, you’ve got more time to get it fixed. MacRumors says Apple has extended the time to take care of 12 and 12 Pro problems tied to the listening bit. According to the report:
Apple launched the service program in August 2021 after the company determined that a “very small percentage” of iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro devices may experience sound issues due to a component that might fail on the earpiece module…
“Fail” as in “won’t make noise.” Users had had up to two-years after “the first retail sale of the device.” That has now been upped to three-years. The program is only applicable to 12 and 12 Pro units manufactured between October 2020 and April 2021. No 12 minis nor 12 Pro Max units suffer the same problem. More info is available on Apple’s site.
