Apple has started a free repair program for some iPhone 14 Plus models with rear camera issues. If your phone’s rear camera doesn’t show a preview, it might qualify for a free fix. Apple says only a small number of devices are affected, but they will fix the problem at no cost. The program covers devices made between April 10, 2023, and April 28, 2024. If you already paid for a repair, Apple will give you a refund.
iPhone 14 Plus Free Camera Repair: Check If Your Device Is Eligible
To see if your iPhone 14 Plus qualifies, check its serial number on Apple’s repair program page. This will confirm if your device is part of the program.
If eligible, you have a few options for getting your phone repaired:
1. Apple Authorized Service Provider: Take your phone to a certified repair provider.
2. Apple Store: Bring your phone to an Apple Store. Scheduling an appointment may help you get faster service.
3. Mail-In Repair: You can also mail your phone to Apple for repair. Apple Support can guide you through this process and provide mailing instructions.
iPhone 14 Plus Repair Coverage and Restrictions
This program covers free repairs for up to three years from your phone’s original purchase date. Even if your phone’s camera works now, you can get it fixed later if the issue appears within the three-year period.
Apple notes that repairs may be limited to the country or region where you bought your phone. For example, if you purchased your iPhone 14 Plus outside your home country, check with Apple Support about repair options in your area.
This program is part of Apple’s effort to keep their devices running smoothly for all users. The refund option also helps those who already paid for a fix, making sure they get back any repair costs they didn’t need to pay.
