Why You Should File An iPhone 7 Recall Claim
If your device is included, Apple will repair the problem at no cost to you. If you have already paid for repairs related to the component issue, you may be reimbursed. The component failure is a manufacturing flaw that Apple is responsible for fixing free of charge. Any damage to your iPhone that will cause a problem with completing repairs, like a cracked screen, must be repaired first, and these repairs will cost you.
How You Can File An iPhone 7 Recall Claim Yourself
If your iPhone 7 is one of the three models included and your iPhone displays "No Service" even when service is available, here are the steps you should take to have your iPhone repaired free of charge.
- Find the model number located on the back of the iPhone 7 to determine if your device is one of the three models included.
- Back up your iPhone files and contacts before having the device serviced.
- Take your device to an authorized service provider, an Apple retail store, or contact Apple Tech Support.
- Your iPhone will be sent to an Apple Repair Center to be serviced.
- After repairs are completed, your device will be returned to you.
If you have paid for repairs related to the component failure, you should check for an email notifying you of the reimbursement. If you did not receive an email, you must go to the Apple support website and contact Apple with proof of eligible repairs.
How Much Time Do You Have To File An iPhone 7 Recall Claim?
Your device can be repaired free of charge within four years of the original retail sale of the device. Because the models included were manufactured between 2016 and 2018, many were likely to have sold throughout 2018 and early 2019. These devices are still eligible for repair until 2022 or 2023. Devices originally sold in 2016 and 2017 may no longer be eligible for free repairs.
