If you’ve been a faithful iPhone 6 Plus user then you might have noticed that some of your snapped photos turned out to be blurrier than they should have been. Good news: Apple announced a new camera replacement program called iSight.
What is iSight?
On Thursday Apple introduced a new camera replacement program called iSight, which will cover a “small percentage” of all iPhone 6 Plus smartphones sold between September 2014 and January 2015. There aren’t any details on what exactly is causing the phones to sometimes produce blurry images. There is some speculation that it could be a flaw in the iPhone 6 Plus’ optical image stabilization since it’s an omitted feature from the original iPhone 6.
Apple says the iSight program will allow users to send in their iPhone 6 Plus to be replaced absolutely free.
Is You Phone Affected?
If you’ve owned your iPhone 6 Plus since the beginning and haven’t noticed any blurry images yet, then chances are you’re fine. If you have shaky hands and aren’t quite sure then Apple has provided a way for users to check whether or not their phone is eligible for replacement.

The first thing you’ll want to do is find your phone’s serial number. To do this you just need to follow this path: Settings — General — About. You could also find the same number on your iTunes summary page, or on the box your phone came in. Once you’ve got it, just head over to this site and plug that number into the serial number box on the site.
Limitations
There are a few caveats to the program, but nothing that doesn’t make sense. First off, if you have any major defects–like a broken screen–then Apple is asking that you replace the screen before sending it in. Also, depending on the state of condition your iPhone 6 Plus is in, you may need to pay a fee for the repair. The only work Apple will be doing on the device is in regards to the camera. Fortunately, Apple is allowing users a three year window to replace their cameras after they purchase the device.
If you believe your iPhone 6 Plus is affected, go ahead and visit your nearest authorized service provider for more details.
