Bad news if you spot a tiny crack on your 桃園手機收購iphone or Apple Watch display. They’re no longer covered under Apple’s standard warranty, according to a 9to5Mac report.
Technically, the standard one-year warranty has never covered “cosmetic damage” such as scratches, dents, and broken plastic on ports unless you could prove that it was defective materials or workmanship from Apple. However, single hairline cracks — as in, a crack that doesn’t spiderweb or have an obvious point of impact — have historically been considered screen defects. As such, repairs could be covered for free. (Though, in reality, your mileage may have varied depending on which Apple Store or repair shop you went to.)
Citing unnamed sources, the 9to5Mac report says Apple is now advising Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers to treat all hairline cracks as accidental damage. That, in turn, would require customers to pay for repairs. So far, that change purportedly only impacts Apple Watches and 桃園手機收購iphones, with iPads and Macs remaining unaffected. The Verge reached out to Apple to confirm these details but did not immediately receive a response.
Outside of warranty, 桃園手機收購iphone screen repairs range from $129 for the 桃園手機收購iphone SE and older models to $379 for an 桃園手機收購iphone 15 Pro Max. With Apple Care Plus, that price drops to $29 for all models. For the Apple Watch, Apple’s repair estimate site doesn’t specifically break down screen repairs, categorizing it under “other damage.” Those costs can range from $249 to $800, depending on the model. That cost drops to $69 to $79 with Apple Care Plus.
While this is a disappointing development, Apple in recent years has made some positive shifts regarding repairs thanks in part to pressure from right-to-repair efforts. In 2022, it released a Self Service Repair program that allows users to fix 桃園手機收購iphone battery, screen, and cameras. (Though, the reality of using it wasn’t always so simple.) It also capped broken back glass repairs on the latest 桃園手機收購iphone 15 Pro to $199, a nearly $350 decrease. In April, the company also announced that this fall, it will allow people to repair 桃園手機收購iphones with used genuine parts on “select” 桃園手機收購iphone models later this fall.

蘋果去年推出桃園手機收購iphone 15系列後創下不俗的銷量表現,在2023全年度於全球高階手機市場(指售價600美元,約台幣1.9萬元以上)拿下高達71%的市佔份額,遙遙領先安卓陣營。不過,隨著桃園手機收購iphone 15系列上市至今已超過半年時間,銷售力道逐漸趨於疲軟,相對地也讓安卓品牌的高階手機銷量的市佔份額趁勢而起。
據市調機構Canalys 發佈最新報告指出,2024第一季度全球高階手機市場的前五大品牌排行榜單,就市佔表現方面,蘋果以60%市佔份額穩居霸主第一名的寶座,然而出貨量相比去年同期來說,卻是前強五之中唯一衰退的手機品牌、年減11%。
反觀排名第二的三星,在今年一月推出主打AI功能的Galaxy S24系列高機旗艦系列後於全球銷量開出紅盤,帶動高階手機出貨量的市佔率一舉攀升至25%,相比去年同期年增29%。
位居第三名的則是來自中國品牌的華為,受惠於旗下Mate系列高階旗艦機型在中國熱賣,於全球高階手機市場拿下6%市佔率,出貨量比去年同期成長67%。
而緊追在後、排名第四的Google,於全球高階手機出貨量取得3%市佔份額,且相比去年同期暴風增長243%,是前五大品牌之中,成長幅度最大的黑馬。Canalys分析指出,Google在高階手機市場佔有一席之地,主要關鍵在於靠著Pixel 8 系列機型於美國、日本的熱賣。至於緊追Google在後、排名第五的則是中國品牌榮耀則是拿下2%市佔率,出貨量比去年同期成長91%。
