Hairline cracks have been popping up on various iPhones including our intern’s iPhone. He has a black 1st generation iPhone with a long crack on the back plating and he is not alone. Our intern called Rogers and he will be getting a new phone. Also, Apple said they are waiving the $30 replacement fee because they said this issue is so widespread. I’m not sure if Apple will do this for everyone, but it’s worth asking when you call.
“Although Apple was and is aware that the iPhones were and are defective, and that consumers have experienced repeated instances of cracked housing, Apple has nevertheless allowed the defectively designed iPhones to be sold to the public,” read the lawsuit.
