Apple earpiece speaker replacement program announced for the iPhone 12

Apple has launched a program for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro buyers, after some users complained of no sound coming from the earpiece during phone calls.

The tech giant said that a "small percentage" of iPhone 12 users had reported the trouble, that was caused by a component on the receiver module that might fail.

Apple further said that affected devices were manufactured between October 2020 and April 2021. If a users iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro does not emit sound from the receiver when they make or receive calls, Apple says they could be eligible for service.
