Apple pledges to exchange faulty iPhone 5 sleep/wake buttons

Is your power button out?

Apple has offered to exchange defective or broken iPhone 5 power buttons for free of charge.
Affected users within the us are ready to submit their claim through Apple's support web site, whereas iPhone 5 owners around the world will get in on the action from may 2.

Users can have to be compelled to enter their phone's serial number through the replacement programme's web site and then drop the handset off at an Apple retail store or mail it in order for it to be repaired.
Apple has such that if there's any harm to the phone that impairs the replacement - like a cracked screen - that has got to be addressed  before the new sleep/wake button is fitted.

Recalls

Replacement programs are rare, however not new for Apple. different recalls have seen iPod nanos brought in because of warming considerations and issues with flash memory drives on MacBook Air laptops.
The only previous instance for the iPhone is that the disreputable 'Antennagate' iPhone 4 issue, that saw signal fall once the device was gripped during a bound approach. In this case Apple offered 'bumper' cases for all affected users.
