Apple Launches Replacement Program for Faulty iPhone 5 Power Buttons

If the sleep/wake button on your iPhone 5 is acting wonky, Apple may fix it for free. The company said it discovered the sleep/wake button on a small percentage of iPhone 5 models manufactured through March 2013 “may stop working or work intermittently.” If you’re experiencing problems and meet the qualifications, Apple will replace the button for free. The replacement program is live in the U.S. and Canada starting today, and will open up to other countries on May 2. You can check for eligibility and instructions on Apple’s support site here.
