Apple is no complete stranger to catastrophic clangers when it pertains to hardware. Can any individual ever fail to remember the debacle that was lovingly named ‘antennagate’ by journalists after the iphone 4 experienced from what we can only phone call a debatable antenna flaw. For a business that prides itself in the details, Apple can have some quite woeful slips when it pertains to high quality control.
Which is why this most current story doesn’t surprise us one jot, though it admittedly comes nowhere near antennagate in the chart of Apple mishaps.
Speaking to The new York Times, Apple spokesperson Teresa Brewer verified that the business has determined a little number of iphone 5s handsets that may experience from a defective battery, leaving them either taking longer to fee than typical or just having a shorter battery life than would usually be expected.
We just recently found a producing problem affecting a extremely restricted number of iphone 5S gadgets that might cause the battery to take longer to fee or result in minimized battery life,” stated Teresa Brewer, an Apple spokeswoman. “We are reaching out to clients with impacted phones as well as will supply them with a replacement phone.
Apple hasn’t verified just exactly how lots of handsets are affected, however they did state that it is in the thousands which isn’t as alarming as it may seem thinking about 9 million iPhones were offered just over the 5s as well as 5c opening weekend.
Apple will be contacting those impacted as well as using replacement handsets in exchange for the faulty ones. If the numbers are as little as Apple states though, the possibilities of the iphone 5s you have in your pocket being one of the faulty ones is rather small. Still, that’s no great to you if yours is one that is affected.
So, ‘batterygate’ isn’t truly all that huge of a offer after all.
