Recently, a strange issue has appeared on the Apple iPhone X camera. To be specific, some people have had glass cracks on the phone’s camera cover. Keep reading for more details!
Apple iPhone X camera issue
Ever since January, a thread on the Apple discussion forum has been growing. It appears that the glass cover on the Apple iPhone X that protects the lens on both rear cameras has started cracking on many units. Now, some people might blame it on being careless, as when you drop the phone on a hard surface, the glass will crack. And that would make perfect sense except that the complaints came from iPhone X owners who affirm that they have never dropped their expensive handset.
So if that is not the case, what could cause the cracks to appear? Some put it on the temperature. Apple states that the iPhone X needs to be in an ambient temperature range of 32°F (0°C) to 95°F (35°C) while in use, and -4°F (-20°C) to 113°F (45°C) when at rest. However, some users have tried using the phone in colder conditions than those specified by Apple and found no damage whatsoever on their device. Perhaps this is something that is not weather related.
One Apple community member says “This obviously is a design/material flaw!” On a side note, let’s take a look at the phone’s specs. In details, the Apple iPhone X specs include a 5.8 inch OLED with the resolution of 2346 x 1125 pixels. Under the hood, it retains the A11 Bionic chip and draws a 2716 mAH juice box. Regarding the storage, the Apple handset offers a 3GB RAM and 64GB/256GB ROM with no card slot. Photography-wise, Apple iPhone X camera includes a dual 12MP (f/1.8, 28mm) + 12MP (f/2.4, 52mm) rear snappers and a 7MP (f/2.2, 32mm) selfie shooter.
Apple remains silent amidst the controversial
Whatever the reason for the cracks, Apple has been on the quiet side. Considering the bad publicity it received last week when it was discovered that the company knew in advance about the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus bendgate; and that its decision not to use epoxy led to “Touch Disease” on the same models, Apple needs to be completely transparent about this new issue.
