• Apple has quietly made changes to the iPhone's warranty coverage, making it more difficult for users to get their devices repaired or replaced. The new policy requires customers to provide proof of purchase within 14 days of the device's original purchase date, a significant change from the previous policy that allowed for proof of purchase up to one year after the purchase.

• The article suggests that this change is likely a cost-saving measure for Apple, as it can reduce the number of warranty claims and repairs it has to cover. This could be particularly problematic for users who purchase their iPhones from third-party retailers or receive them as gifts, as they may not have the necessary proof of purchase within the 14-day window.

• The article also notes that this change is part of a broader trend of tech companies making it more difficult for consumers to access warranty and repair services. This can be seen as a way for companies to prioritize profits over customer satisfaction and the right to repair their own devices.
