iPhone 14 Plus Service Program for Rear Camera Issue Announced by Apple: Check Eligibility

Apple has announced a service program for a rear camera issue that affects some iPhone 14 Plus units that were manufactured over a 12-month-period. The Cupertino company has announced that affected devices will be eligible for servicing at authorised Apple service providers at no additional cost, and customers can verify whether their handset is impacted by providing the company with their serial number. Meanwhile, users who have already paid for repairs to the rear camera on the iPhone 14 Plus can contact Apple for a refund.

Apple Offers iPhone 14 Plus Service Program for Rear Camera Issue

A support page set up by the company states that it discovered a "very small percentage" of iPhone 14 Plus units are affected by an issue where the rear camera does not show a preview. iPhone 14 Plus units that were produced between April 10, 2023 and April 28, 2024 could be impacted, according to Apple.

iPhone 14 Plus owners can enter their serial number on the company's support page to check whether their smartphone is affected by the issue and eligible for free servicing at no charge. Apple says that the service program will cover an affected unit for three years after it was first purchased.

How to Check Eligibility for Apple's iPhone 14 Plus Service Program

In order to find the serial number on the iPhone 14 Plus, users can open the Settings app and tap on General > About. Long pressing on Serial Number on this screen will display a Copy shortcut, allowing users to paste the text in the field on Apple's support page for the iPhone 14 Plus Service Program.

Apple's support document states that some customers who have iPhone 14 Plus units with damage that prevents the rear camera service — such as a broken rear glass panel — will need to resolve those issues first. Unlike the free service program, Apple says it will charge customers for these additional repairs.

Customers who have already paid for to service their iPhone 14 Plus rear camera can also contact Apple for a refund, according to the company's website. Gadgets 360 was able to verify that an iPhone 14 Plus purchased in December 2023 was not in the affected serial number range.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
