Apple Launches iSight Camera Replacement Program for iPhone 6 Plus

Apple scratched up the lid of my early 2011 MacBook Pro when they replaced the faulty motherboard and they never replaced it. Still living with it today
So what precisely is the problem? That EVERY photo is blurry, or just some of them?
I get blurry photos sometimes, but I thought it was just that I was moving or shook the camera.

while we're at it: please stop calling your displays retina displays. its not a "groundbreaking display" by any means, nor the sharpest or highest res. others have better, sharper, more pixel dense displays and dont make a fuss about it. inb4 "but dell has its infinity display". yeah well thats not about the actual display panel.
No, there's never been any widespread issue so unless it's under warranty and it wasn't your fault by dropping it, it'll be at your cost
LOL they don't ever damage the phones while repairing! If they did they'd give you a new phone most likely
They won't give you a new phone, they'll take it apart and replace the camera... Apple doesn't replace devices anymore unless they need to
They'll just replace the camera, other people have confirmed that and it'd be a waste to give you a new phone really
Exactly what I said, I got my 5s display replaced and not a mark at all.
I reckon if you asked, they would've replaced that at leastApple scratched up the lid of my early 2011 MacBook Pro when they replaced the faulty motherboard and they never replaced it. Still living with it today
Higher pixel density doesn't make a better display...
That's a gray area. To be safe I'd personally either go back to iOS 8.3 , 8.4 or 8.4.1 or just downplay ( not mention/ act like it isn't ) the iOS 9 tho it shouldn't be relevant considering this is a part and not the entire phone
Just the camera component
We meticulously designed this camera to fall out of place and produce beautifully blurred pictures...
My phone is eligible for this repair but I have not yet experienced any blurry photos.
Still - I'd like to have the part replaced because it is obvious that it could fail in the future (or is more prone to failure).
Does anyone know if Apple will replace the part proactively even if the phone is not currently exhibiting the problem?

yes, god for bid Apple has never ever had problems with the front facing camera.
"will get their cameras replaced from Apple at *no charge*." No one read the article did they?
I would think it's just the fault component that they would replace.... although if u want a new phone, just break it yourself as long as its not visual enough that its "accidental damage",

as long as its not visual enough that its "accidental damage",They're not going to swap the phone. I've had this issue with my camera and they replaced the part in about two hours at the store and handed back the same phone.
That is assuming the problem is fixed. I got my iPhone 6 SG serviced few months ago for this very issue (new front camera and screen). And had to get it serviced again last week for the very issue.
