What does that third line mean? I think they are missing a word.
Only 4.7" and what appear to be Qualcomm models based on the country list.
I’ve had my 8 since launch day and it hasn’t given me any issues. The OS on the other hand...
Even if the percentage of affected devices for each type of defect is very small, when the number of types of deefects grows eventually all devices get affected by one defect or another.
Last year is the first year since the 3G that I didn’t purchase a new iPhone the day it bacame available and I’ve never had a problem.
Unlikely at this point. I'm sure they'd be happy to sell you a pair of AirPods though.
This is why I love Apple.
They ALWAYS go above and beyond all other companies to provide customers with the best possible service, even if it costs them a lot of money.

Another day... another gate...
"Apple it just fails"
Too bad costumers have to suffer these issues every damm time a new iPhone is released.

It is still under the one year warranty. Get it fixed while you can. When you rapidly press the volume buttons to replicate the issue, tell them you’re doing it so they see it happen. It happens under normal usage too but don’t want to waste their time. Easier to just do what replicates it.
I just tried it in mine for a full minute, and no restart.
They are right about 'a small percentage'. Mine was purchased around November 2017 and the serial number is not valid.
Right, because every other manufacturer always releases perfect devices with NO FLAWS AND NO DEFECTS !!!!!
So what? Problems are fixed. Apple literally sells 1 BILLION iPhones every 4 years now. The build quality is incredible - THE best in the business and so is the support. This repair program is a perfect example.
Stop hating.
You know... when you are producing, selling, and servicing HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of something YOU created without failures I’ll listen But until them... fill in the blanks people.
I think I purchased mine on Christmas Eve (2017), and my serial number is not in the affected batch of phones. Glad for myself, but I feel bad for others that have a phone that are part of the recall.
Do tell. How is Apple is going above and beyond? There's a problem with a device they manufactured, and they are going to make fix it. In my dictionary, this is what is SUPPOSED to happen.

My phone has a Qualcom modem. I purchased it directly from Apple as a SIM free, unlocked device

Oh dear. You cannot see that even 'a small percentage' of 'a good 100 million' phones would mean many people inconvenienced with yet another iPhone issue.

Watch Rossman going through the list of Apple defects and then scale that up to those massive numbers. That's a lot of people who have paid a premium for machines with issues that should not have been allowed to happen.
I have an iPhone (which is subject to the Touch ID recall - which I have experienced several times without dropping the phone like Apple says will have happened) and an iPad. Only this year I have purchased a MacBook Pro (which is subject to the keyboard recall) and a Series 3 watch.
I wouldn't keep buying if I was a hater but I don't believe in blindly supporting Apple without recognising that there are issues.

The only thing that this proves is that 100% of phones aren't affected.
wait something must be wrong, from this board i learned that apple doesn't fix anything unless there is a class action lawsuit pending. WHAT'S GOING ON!?

if that's what's supposed to happen than every other manufacturer must fail your test then.
