Have you noticed that your iPhone 6 Plus takes crappy photos? Rather, to be more specific, have you noticed that your iPhone 6 Plus takes more blurry photos than it probably should? If that's the case, you've probably blamed your own photography skills for your inability to shoot anything with clarity. You shouldn't; it might actually be your device's fault this time, not yours.
According to Apple, a small subset of iPhone 6 smartphones are actually defective, and you can absolutely blame them for your poor photos.
"Apple has determined that, in a small percentage of iPhone 6 Plus devices, the iSight camera has a component that may fail causing your photos to look blurry. The affected units fall into a limited serial number range and were sold primarily between September 2014 and January 2015," reads Apple's website.
"If your iPhone 6 Plus is producing blurry photos and falls into the eligible serial number range, Apple will replace your device's iSight camera, free of charge."
Note two important details in Apple's statement. First, only a subset of iPhone 6 devices are affected by this issue, and Apple isn't going to do anything unless your device's serial number is first verified. (You can run a check directly on Apple's site.)
Second, if your iPhone 6 Plus does happen to be one of those affected, Apple isn't going to replace your entire smartphone. (Nice try.) You'll have to bring it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store in order to have it examined and fixed. The process, based on reports we've seen, should take less than an hour or so. However, if your phone is all jacked up (cracked or broken, and you're still using it anyway), then you'll probably have to pay to have that bit repaired first before Apple proceeds with the free repair to your device's camera.
And just in case something goes wrong during the process, you'll want to back up your smartphone's data before you get it fixed. Also, the free fix doesn't extend your device's warranty of anything like that; this is just repairing a small issue affecting a limited number of Apple smartphones, that's it.
