Apple fixes iPhone 5 faulty models

(MENAFN) Due to constant complaints, Apple, the California-based tech giant, offered to fix some iPhone 5 models with on-off buttons flaws, The Peninsula Qatar reported. In a post on its support website, Apple claimed that a "small percentage" of iPhone 5 devices which have been manufactured through March 2013 may have problems with the on-off buttons that stop working or work intermittently. "Apple will replace the sleep/wake button mechanism, free of charge, on iPhone 5 models that exhibit this issue and have a qualifying serial number," it said at the website. Apple's support web page showed iPhone owners instructions on how to check serial numbers to determine if smartphones qualify for free repair.
