       Apple Opens Repair Program for iPhone 14 Plus Rear Camera Failure

   Adam Engst

   Has your iPhone 14 Plus rear camera stopped providing a preview? Apple
   says a very small percentage of iPhone 14 Plus devices manufactured
   between 10 April 2023 and 28 April 2024 may exhibit this problem. The
   company has started a [1]repair program to fix the problem for free.

   If your iPhone 14 Plus is experiencing the problem, you'll need to use
   Apple's serial number checker to see if it's eligible for repair. Look
   up its serial number in Settings > General > About. Touch and hold the
   serial number until a Copy popover appears. Tap that to copy the serial
   number to the clipboard, which you can then paste into the form on
   Apple's repair program page.

   If your iPhone 14 Plus has the problem and is covered, you can get it
   fixed by an [2]Apple Authorized Service Provider, make an appointment
   at an [3]Apple Store, or contact [4]Apple Support and arrange mail-in
   service via the Apple Repair Center.
