Apple refuses frozen iPhone repair
Apple has refused to repair an iPhone 4 on the grounds that it was used in an ambient temperature below zero, in breach of the specifications. Norwegian rag Bergens Tidende reports it was -12 outside as Lenin Kristin Løvvik connected her iPhone to the car stereo for the provision of musical accompaniment on the way in to work.
Løvvik reckons the inside of the car was up to 20 degrees by the time the iPhone conked out on her. However, she told the paper, Apple is sticking to the line that the iPhone is not spec'ed for sub-zero operations.
Apple is maintaining its traditional silence on the matter, politely refusing to comment as ever, but the iPhone specifications are pretty clear that it's a phone designed for Californian beaches rather than Highland mountains.
