Apple will fix faulty iPhone 5 models
Saturday, 26 April 2014
Apple offered to fix some older iPhone 5 smartphones with flawed on-off buttons. The California-based company said a "small percentage" of iPhone 5 models manufactured through March of 2013 may have on-off buttons that stop working or work intermittently, in a posting on its support website. "Apple will replace the sleep/wake button mechanism, free of charge, on iPhone 5 models that exhibit this issue and have a qualifying serial number," it said at the website. The support web page contained instructions for iPhone 5 owners, along with a way to check serial numbers to determine if smartphones qualify for free repair, according to AFP.
