“Apple is reportedly replacing or repairing iPhone 7 Plus units that have developed camera faults,” Killian Bell reports for Cult of Mac. “Some users on Reddit and around the web have complained of black and purple screens and error messages when opening the camera app, supposedly due to a dodgy iSight sensor.”
“When the viewfinder does work and a preview image appears, it has a black, green, or purple tint, users report,” Bell reports. “This is sometimes accompanied by an error message that warns ‘iPhone needs to cool down,’ even though the device doesn’t feel warm.”
“The good news is, those who are experiencing this problem are getting help from Apple,” Bell reports. “Some users report that their handsets were repaired under warranty without any issues, while others received complete replacement units.”

Seriously, these are lies made up by our enemies!
You know, I just realized that an ostrich has at least “assumed the position”!
Apple replacing iPhone 7 Plus units with faulty cameras
Wow. I’ve always wanted a faulty camera.
Seriously, I reread that headline 4 times.
Why were you so serious when you reread it?
Haha, Yeah, I read it the same way at first and wondered what was Apple thinking handing out defective product as replacements.
I will also call this a crock of BS
Really are you that much of an ass. It’s news to notify people there is an issue and they may not have it today but they might have it tomorrow. you’re also happy to see articles about same songs fires and everybody else’s issues but you don’t want anything in the news about Apple
And who are you to decide that it’s crock you’re a fool
““Apple is reportedly replacing or repairing iPhone 7 Plus units that have developed camera faults,”
In other news, Apple like all companies, honors their warranty. Why is this news?
*shrug* Maybe MDN is having a hard time finding other ‘good’ news about Apple right now.
Huh?! Are you new to MDN?
This is Apple news and people want to know about it, especially if they’re experiencing the symptoms and will be grateful to know Apple is on top of the problem.
That’s why this is news.
So, you give them an iPhone 7 Plus, and they give you a faulty camera? That’s not a very good replacement. You can’t even make calls with a faulty camera.
Yeah Apple is awesome they have managed to increase the number of RMA numbers. RMA numbers are a whole new market for Apple. Way to diversify!
