few months ago, Apple acknowledged that some iPhone and iPhone 7 Plus units were experiencing issues with the microphone. As such, that Apple was willing to fix those handsets free of charge, even when they were out of warranty. According to MacRumors, as of last week, Apple's no longer authorizing free repairs on this issue when iPhone is past its warranty period. Additionally, the internal document, was also deleted.. While only number of customers are affected, one source that the microphone issues are still prevalent, and do not appear to have been resolved, so it's unclear why Apple chose to stop offering exceptions... In the memo, iPhone and iPhone 7 Plus users might experience button during phone calls, or have difficulties not being heard during calls or Facebook chats. There's no telling why Apple would offer this type of warranty exemption only to kill it two months later. It could be that the memo was issued, or maybe Apple has decided to retire iPhone this Fall and no longer wants to pay for out-of-warranty repairs on discontinued device.. Whatever the reason, hopefully, we'll hear from Apple soon.. Apple's expected to announce three new iPhones in few weeks including iPhone X, and all-new 6.1-inch LCD iPhone and 6.5-inch OLED.
