Apple finds manufacturing issue in some new iPhones

Got the new iPhone 5S? Great! Experiencing battery problems? I hope not. Apple has just confirmed that they have discovered a manufacturing defect that is affecting some of their new iPhones.

Apple spokeswoman, Teresa Brewer, has confirmed to New York Times that they found a “manufacturing issue” that is affecting a “limited number” of iPhone 5S units.

“We recently discovered a manufacturing issue affecting a very limited number of iPhone 5S devices that could cause the battery to take longer to charge or result in reduced battery life,” said Brewer. She also added that they are “reaching out to customers with affected phones and will provide them with a replacement phone.”

The NY Times pointed out that a manufacturing issue is different from a defective battery.

Apple did not disclose how many of these iPhones were affected. As of last month, the Cupertino-based company sold nine million new iPhones in their first weekend of sale.

In other news, Globe and Smart are set to release the iPhone 5S on November 15. Let’s hope that none of their iPhones are carrying the said issue.

  1. Nobody is perfect, at least they admitted it and they will replace your phone! yan ang premium after sales service :-)

  2. Sounds like a Quality Check fail for me. I’ve got the feeling that the manufacturing process of iPhone 5C and 5S may be rushed. Not to mention, there are several reports stating that some interns were forced to build the iPhones in the assembly factory.

  3. crApple iPhoone 5S

  4. are they using Lithium Polymer batteries? that’s the issue, I guess.

  5. Sa laki ba naman ng pinapatong nila sa iPhone aba’y DAPAT lang na maging maganda ang after – sales nila.

  6. will fair usage policy still be applied when you use this?

  7. thats so good of apple, kaso hassle pa pupunthan mo pa sila aasikasuhin mo pa. dapat from the start ayos na first impressions last, parang LG G2 ok na mga features tgal pa ng life span ng battery. overall perfomance is absolutely great

  8. Just don’t forget to remove your saved thumbprints from the device before attempting a unit replacement.
