Apple Launches Free iPhone 6 Plus Camera Replacement Program
Mark Wilson writes: Complaints about the camera of the iPhone 6 Plus have been plentiful, and Apple has finally acknowledged that there is a problem. It's not something that affects all iPhone 6 Plus owners, but the company says that phones manufactured between September 2014 and January 2015 could include a failed camera component. Apple has set up a replacement program which enables those with problems with the rear camera to obtain a replacement. Before you get too excited, it is just replacement camera components that are on offer, not replacement iPhones. You'll need to check to see if your phone is eligible at the program website.

You're missing the main issues.
1. The announcement gets coverage at the weekend, the lull of online activity. Exactly when Apple always ensures their fuck up acknowledgements come out.
2. Apple are above the law. They can steal your purchases if you move abroad citing licensing issues. Which is a lie, no other online corporation has this theft clause.
3. You get low quality production and Q&A this time of year. The college kids they use in the Chinese near-slave factories have gone home. They now use anyone they can round up off of the streets to make up the numbers - just like photo labs in yesteryear.
4. The zealots are out in force throughout the media. Go look. Everywhere this is covered, their paid shills and zealots are out retorting with fabrication problems with other corporations, attempting to drag the issue into the gutter with brand-wars, thus avoiding the facts presented.
