SAN FRANCISCO (AFP), Apple is offering to fix some older iPhone 5 smartphones with flawed on-off buttons.
In a posting on its support website, the California-based company said Friday a “small percentage” of iPhone 5 models manufactured through March of 2013 may have on-off buttons that stop working or work intermittently.
“Apple will replace the sleep/wake button mechanism, free of charge, on iPhone 5 models that exhibit this issue and have a qualifying serial number,” it said at the website.
