Apple has announced free service programme for iPhone 14 Plus users who are affected by rare kind of issue that affected devices manufactured between April 10, 2023 to April 28, 2024. The affected iPhone 14 Plus devices suffer from a manufacturing defect where the smartphone does not show any preview while using the rear camera of the device. Is your iPhone 14 Plus eligible for free repairs? Affected iPhone 14 Plus users can check if their device is eligible for free repairs by visiting the official Apple support page for the policy and entering their IMEI number.

If they do turn out to be affected from the camera issue, Apple will provide repairs free of cost. In case the user has already paid for the repairs, they are also eligible to ask for a refund from Apple. Apple says users can make a claim for free repairs up to three years after the original purchase of their iPhone 14 Plus device.



However, the free repair programme only extends to a ‘very small percentage’ of iPhone 14 Plus devices and not to iPhone 14, iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro Max or newer devices. Notably, this is the first time Apple has announced a free repairs programme in 3 years after announcing the last one in 2021 for the iPhone 12 models affected by an earpiece issue.
