The Apple iPhone 14 Plus was introduced in the fall of 2022, making its debut shortly after its vanilla counterpart. Priced at $899, this smartphone boasts a generous 6.7-inch display and shares its camera technology with the standard iPhone 14 version. This includes a 12 MP front-facing camera complemented by a dual rear setup featuring 12 MP wide and ultra-wide lenses. While the device has garnered attention for its specs, a minor glitch affecting some units has prompted Apple to step in with a recall.
Apple recently announced that a select few iPhone 14 Plus devices, specifically those made between April 10, 2023, and April 28, 2024, may suffer from a rear camera problem that results in no preview appearing. They have launched a dedicated service program to address this issue, allowing users to verify if their phone is impacted by checking its serial number on Apple Canada’s support page.
If a device qualifies for repair, owners have a few options. They can visit an Apple Authorized Service Provider, schedule an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact Apple Support to set up a mail-in service for repair at the Apple Repair Center.
However, it’s crucial to note that if the device has other damages that could hinder the repair process, such as cracked back glass, those need to be fixed beforehand—and possibly at a cost.
For those looking to protect their investment, there’s a current deal on the OtterBox Commuter Series Case for both the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 14 Plus. This protective cover is now available at a 14% discount, starting from $34.32, depending on the chosen color.
Keep your iPhone safe and functioning with this repair program and the added protection of a quality case.
