Over time, Apple got strict about replacing their Lightning charging cable and wired EarPods (headphones). They would regularly wear out for me.
In earlier iPhone generations, they would replace your EarPod headphones without a hassle (or wait). Later on (as Apple got more popular and Apple store genius bar lines grew longer), you had to make a reservation and they would only consider replacing it after checking the cable's (discrete) serial number.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoSounds like another reason why they pushed to get rid of cables and ports, risk of damage and warranty claims. I mean it's a win-win for them because Apple devices get a reputation for being reliable then (which is counteracted by things like butterfly keyboards). I mean wireless charging is a solution for a problem many people run into, dust / lint buildup in the charging port.
