IPhone 6 (plus) Problem Display Edges Chipping (breaking away) or broken from factory (underside) No warranty coverage by Apple!

ACHTUNG! iPhone 6 (plus) Problem: Chipped (broken) edges of display glass. Owner Beware! Apple denied warranty coverage.
Can this be true?
Recently I found a little trace on the edge of my iPhone 6. Very small, at the bottom edge of the display glass.
You could hardly make it out, but visible enough to catch the eye.
Since my iPhone 6 has never dropped or bumped in any way, I addressed this issue to AppleCare support, and sent them the device.
The upshot: Diagnostics of the technician’s: broken glass! Warranty coverage: DENIED!
This damage comes from improper usage or is an accidental damage.
The AppleCare adviser also confirmed that this device also is not qualified for any further warranty claim, because of the broken display. (See Appels warranty conditions).
Apple returned my phone unrepaired. The sim tray was missing, and a note in the return package said, that warranty repair was denied and that I can buy a new device at apple store.
For me it is OBVIOUSLY a PRODUCTION ERROR by the manufacturer, and has to be fixed for free within the warranty.
I made pictures of this problem so you can see what I mean.
I can only recommend to anyone urgently, to carry a 10x loupe (preferably illuminated) to the store, if you are going to buy an iphone 6 or 6 plus.
Otherwise, if you catch a device with chipped edges on the glass you are out of warranty.
Please notice that the complete bottom edge has marks of broken and chipped glass!
I think the whole construction with the round edges is the problem. The glass is simply too thin at the edges.
It could be more iPhones suffering the same problem.
Btw: The glass surface on top is perfectly intact. The broken pieces are on the bottom!
You can feel nothing if you do not take the display apart.
However, I set up a mail with my lawyer and am waiting how Apple will respond.
They are of course also invited to discuss on community portals worldwide about this.
Please let me know what you think and if someone had success with the same problem.

Hi. I have the same problem. Unpacked a new iPhone6 and the phone had a small chip under the glass on the edge. Local store says that this is not covered as it would have been incorrect use. Pretty strange as it came out of the box like this and the metal edge of the phone is perfect (which shows that it was not dropped), just the glass is chipped (looks as if the chip is inside of the glass). To me it looks like a production issue as the glass is curved and gets thinner towards the edges. Would be interested if more people have the same issue in order to put a claim forward to Apple.....

My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare

My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare+. I bought my iPhone 6 plus 3 months ago in Singapore.

$129 US. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/ For local pricing call your nearest Apple store. If you live somewhere other than Singapore you'll have to send the phone to someone you trust in Singapore and have them take the phone in to have it repaired. iPhone's do not have an international warranty and can only be serviced in the country they were purchased.

IPhone 6 plus problem in app Landscape mode

Hello,
i got the iphone 6 plus yesterday, I switched from an android phone, and there are some things that I am finding quite annoying. First, some of the apps do not support landscape mode and force portrait mode. I have an iPad and this is not an issue with these apps there. screen rotation is not locked and standard view is enabled. When entering text on landscape mode, screen responsiveness is poor for text entry. When I want to share something, the options are limited to Facebook, YouTube, email and a couple more, on android I couls share directly to many more things including whatsapp. I don't know how much of this is just normal iOS

Login to your Apple ID at id.apple.com
Once you do that, change the Apple ID to the ID that is being displayed on the screen. Once you save that ID, you should then be able to logout of the icloud account with the password used to access your Apple ID. Once done, change the Apple ID back to the one you were using. If you get an error saying that the Apple ID is already being used, then you need to call in to have is resolved at 1-800-MY-IPHONE.

IPhone 6 Plus Screen Issue?? Going insane here! 6th phone opened same problem

Hi all,
I bought a iPhone 6 plus on launch day. I noticed something immediately and that was that the screen, even on full brightness, wasn't displaying whites as nicely as the phones on display in the apple store. The apple store iPhone 6 pluses on display display bright, vivid whites (let's say when your on google.com) but my phone looked slightly more dimmed and shaded out. The difference is slight, but when you compare, you notice it immediately and have had apple employees notice this before I even compared them the phones side by side.
I ended up having the apple store open a few phones for me to replace and they were WORSE (they opened 5 phones). I ended up returning the phone and getting a new one only to have the same issue. I just don't understand why the iPhone 6 pluses on display have screens that show whites and nice and bright, where as my screens are dimmer and more 'shaded out'.
I promise you, if you have an iPhone 6 plus go to the apple store and do the comparison. Unless your lucky, it'll be there. This isn't a yellow screen, or uniform brightness issue, the screen just looks shaded even on full brightness making whites look more 'grey' than the way they are displayed on the 6 pluses in the store. All the setting are perfect this isn't the issue. The issue is the screen itself. I just wanted to know if I was the only one.

I feel your pain! I have the same problem with my new iPhone 6. My iPhone 5s has cooler/brighter whites, but my iPhone 6 with a supposedly better screen shows them warmer/duller. I stopped at two T-Mobile stores this morning to compare my phone with their display models, and in both cases my phone look dull and drab. Because of the warmer whites, text has less contrast and therefor looks blurrier, too. I was considering going to an Apple Store to see if they could exchange the phone, but as you've demonstrated there's no guaranty that you'll get a better phone. After spending $850 on what I thought was a phone with a bigger, better display, I now wish I'd just stayed happy with my 5s or even considered switching back to an Android phone.

Cant sync iphone 6 plus to itunes, can only restore backup or setup as new

I recently bought a new iphone 6 plus and set it up through itunes by restoring from the backup of my previous iphone.
Since then I have made updates on my new phone (installed some apps, updated IDs and passwords, etc), and most recently let it install the ios 8.1.1 update.
Today when I connected my phone to my PC to sync it with itunes, the only options I am given are for setting up the phone, not syncing it.
Specifically, it gives me 2 choices. 1) Set up as a new Phone, 2) Restore from this backup (the backup from when I already originally set up the new phone).
I do not want to restore the phone in either of these fashions, I only want to do a sync to a) get the updates on my phone backed up into itunes and b) install music from my itunes onto my iphone (which for some reason did not come across in the original setup).
How can I SYNC my phone without simply having to RESTORE it to the state it was some time ago ?
If I am having this problem now, it seems I would be stuck in this situation in the future too.

It's been almost 3 weeks since I posted this. Any suggestions on how to fix ?

Iphone 6 plus crashing itunes in Windows 7

Can't synch new iphone 6 plus (64G) with itunes 12.0.1.26 in Windows 7.
iphone 5 synched just fine to computer backup prior to purchasing iphone 6 plus--two hours later it's crashing...
"iTunes has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available."
I'm guessing this is an Apple glitch needing an Apple fix?

Can an Australian IPhone 6 Plus have UK Apple care Plus?

Hi guys
I am thinking of buying an Australian iPhone 6 Plus - I am currently in Australia. It is the same region as the UK iPhone 6 Plus and the same model number. I have 2 questions. First, can I buy Apple Care Plus in the UK and for it to be valid for accidental damage (within the requisite 60 days) even though it is an Australian iPhone and second, if I bought Apple Care Plus in Australia - would that be valid in the UK for accidental damage or just Australia?
Thanks everyone in advance.

Apple Care plus covers everything, but as far as I know accidental damage is something that Apple Care plus won't cover. Any hardware problem is covered by Apple Care plus. Whereas for accidental damage, you need to pay for the replacement price. So you need not worry about getting it fixed anywhere if incase anything hardware related happens.

IPhone 6 Plus and Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader - Missed Opportunity?

Apple definitely missed an opportunity to tighten up the DSLR/GoPro photography/video workflow with the iPhone 6 Plus. Currently the only way to transfer images from a DSLR or GoPro camera is through an extremely slow WiFi/Bluetooth transfer process. This is fine for someone is moving 1 or 2 images. But, for a batch of 50 to 100, this approach is way too time consuming. Android devices are way ahead of Apple in this regard and I'm fighting the urge to break-away from the iPhone once again, for something that is very solvable.
Enabling the the Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to work with the new iPhone 6 Plus solves this workflow issue.
Why not enable it?

I was gonna buy the 128GB iPhone 6+ until I read this. Now, nope. I may still have to get an iPhone because of the tons of apps I'm already invested in, but since the 6+ will be useless for photos, it'll be the midrange regular 6. Maybe.
Meanwhile, I'd love to get an Android device in about the same size as the 6+, storage and screen-wise, but don't need the cell capability. At 128GB it would make a great photo vault and something I could do some metadata entry on. Any suggestions?

Does upgrading from previous iPhone affect iPhone 6 Plus battery

I started with an iPhone 3G when it launched, then upgraded to an iPhone 4S shortly after it launched. Fast forward to present time, I recently upgraded to an iPhone 6 plus and am wondering does the legacy of data from the previous phones affect the newer phone's performance. The Usage/standby statistics are useless. They are always identicle no matter how long I lay the phone down. For example its telling me I've been using it for 4 hours and 8 minutes, and the Standby is also 4 hours and 8 minutes. If you total that up, its more time than I've even been awake for today so far. Secondly I haven't even used the device for 4 hours cumulatively let alone 1 hour. Restarting the phone, or restoring from back up doesn't seem to help.
When I use the phone first thing in the morning and unplug it I've seen a 10% drop at times when simply going on Instagram or flipboard for a 5 to 10 minutes.
Since getting the phone I have seen mild improvement in battery life over my 4S, but am not seeing the stellar battery life performance and this Phone is supposedly NEW, from the Apple Store I walked in and bought it from. Any thoughts, or suggestions? Is it the hardware? Does the battery need to be tested?
PS: At the end of me writing this post, Usage 4 hours, 27 minutes... Standby 4 Hours, 27 minutes. SMH

So for a day it seemed to work fine, but in the morning I picked up my 6 Plus unplugged it and noticed as time went by the problem of identical Usage and Standby was present. This time I only reset Network Settings the Usage and Standby were working properly again. Still trying to figure out what the culprit is. How common is this problem and is Apple aware of it and will truly do something about it?
It's not common, but it has happened occasionally for 7 1/2 years with every model iPhone and every version of iOS. It is an app problem, where an app misbehaves or gets stuck sending or attempting to send and failing. There are various tricks to "unstick" it, and resetting network settings sometimes works as it kills all data requests.

I got my iPhone 6 plus less than a week ago. Now it randomly goes from getting a good cell signal to telling me there is No SIM installed. Did I get a defective phone? I ordered straight from Verizon.

I got my iphone 6 plus less than a week ago. I ordered from Verizon. My phone is now randomly going from having a good cell signal to giving me a message No SIM. I was able to make calls, now when I get this message, I can't connect to cell service, which defeats the point of having a cell phone! The phone is brand new and has not been dropped, damaged, or otherwise mishandled. Did I get a defective phone or what?

Hi! I got in touch with AppleCare last evening finally. They helped me clear the data blockage or whatever. It sounds like this is an issue they are aware of, because they said the phone was not defective. However, it happened again today and it took several times of me doing the resetting of the network and hard staring the phone before the problem cleared. It is just frustrating because it is hard to go without cell service for long periods of time. And no, I have not done anything with the SIM card. I don't know what it is or how it would be accessed on an iPhone! This might be something Verizon wants to take a closer look at with Apple.
Thank you for the follow up. I will let you know if the problem continues.
