I rushed to buy AppleCare just in case this happens to mine, so.. working as designed? But seriously, I hope that there will be a repair program for this issue. Right now it's hard for me to be upset at Apple since there are inevitably things you only discover when you have shipped a sufficient number of devices into the real world. They're a big ship to steer, and it's been 2 days since this was first reported. They can't not be aware of it now that it's in the news, but even if they make zero effort to push back or stall, it's going to take a little while just to formulate a response, get all the signoffs, and implement it. Best case, we'll see a repair program shortly and it will be zero trouble to exchange it for free if this happens. Worst case, it'll be another situation that is only resolved after years of complaints and a class action lawsuit. But I can't in fairness, even wearing my "Apple only cares about money" hat, reasonably argue that are delinquent for not doing that all in under 48 hours.
