Apple leak shows how it decides to repair or replace iPhones

A new leaked warranty guide for Apple iPhones shows how the company determines which iPhones are eligible for repair under warranty.

The 22-page guide is dated March 3, 2017 and was leaked recently to Dropbox, reports Business Insider.

Called the “Visual/Mechanical Inspection Guide” (VMI) the document covers the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, and 7 Plus.

The types of damage that Apple covers under its warranty service includes debris under display glass or pixel anomaly, a misalignment of the FaceTime camera foam, or a single hairline crack to the front glass without an impact point.

The VMI notes that devices with these types of impairments are covered regardless of any accidental or liquid damage.

Other damage, including LCD fractures, damage due to laser contact with the camera, extreme abrasion or puncture holes, multiple cracks in the glass, and damaged connectors are eligible for out-of-warranty service.
