Apple initiates iPhone 5 power button replacement program

26 April, 2014

Apple has initiated the iPhone 5 sleep/wake button replacement program for those with a malfunctioning button. Under this program, if you have an eligible iPhone 5, Apple will replace the button free of cost.

Apple has determined that the sleep/wake button mechanism on a small percentage of iPhone 5 models may stop working or work intermittently. iPhone 5 models manufactured through March 2013 may be affected by this issue.

Apple will replace the sleep/wake button mechanism, free of charge, on iPhone 5 models that exhibit this issue and have a qualifying serial number.

Apple has setup a website where you can check if your iPhone 5 is eligible for a replacement. Not all iPhone 5 phones have this issue but if you think yours does then this is the time to get it fixed.
