All faulty devices are eligible for free repairs from Apple, as long as any other issues, such as a cracked screen, are fixed ahead of time. Devices should also be backed up to a computer via iTunes or to iCloud prior to sending it for repairs.。

To get the repair started device owners can visit an Apple authorized service provider or Apple retail store, or they can contact Apple technical support. The company's website says some repairs may be restricted to the region of purchase. Customers are only eligible if their affected devices were purchased within the last two years. 。
