Apple has revised its warranty policy, excluding tiny cracks on iPhone and Apple Watch displays from standard coverage.

Hairline cracks, previously considered screen defects, are now classified as accidental damage, requiring paid repairs.

iPhone screen repair costs range from $129 to $379, reduced to $29 with Apple Care Plus.

Apple Watch repair costs range from $249 to $800, dropping to $69 to $79 with Apple Care Plus.

Despite this change, Apple has introduced positive repair policies like the Self Service Repair program and capped broken back glass repair costs for the iPhone 15 Pro.

Apple will soon allow repairs with used genuine parts for select iPhone models, responding to right-to-repair advocacy.

Customers are advised to check Apple's website for screen replacement prices and consider Apple Care Plus to manage repair costs.

Apple has launched a new video app called Kino for iPhone users.

Plans to integrate generative AI experiences with iOS 18 aim to enhance the iPhone experience with new AI-powered capabilities.
