Apple India — Refusing to replace display

After 16.6 software update, my display completely turned white. Submitted my mobile immediately to iplanet. They quoted 37000 INR. I just paid only 1250INR for the test. Then reached apple support and escalated. First they said physical damages and after huge conversation there is no single dent then they said it is internal damage and unable to give exact information. After huge conversation on every day. Now they have taken free replacement, but now they are saying unauthorised modification but unable to give the exact information about this. I even reached multiple agents and none are answering the information. I have all the call recordings. Almost 30 days, the mobile is with them and still blaming customers and not giving the valid proof.

same issue. My iPhone 13pro screen turned yellow. I visited the store but I didn't go ahead with the test. I still have my phone but it's completely useless now.
Please submit a complaint to the Consumer Forum. I encountered a similar issue with my iPhone 14 Pro Max 256 GB, which was still under warranty. However, I have been requested to pay an additional Rs. 82, 500 as a replacement cost. I initially paid 1.5 lacs for the phone, and now they are demanding an extra 83K.

According to an Apple service center agent, approximately 20 cases per month are reported for the same reason, and customers are being asked to bear the costs even when the phone is within the warranty period. This appears to be a widespread issue, potentially constituting a significant fraud operation in India.

Consider the impact when extrapolating these numbers – one store handling 240 cases in a year, and with two Apple authorized service centers in Pune alone reporting around 500 issues, the scale of the problem is alarming. When considering the entire country, the magnitude of the situation becomes even more concerning.
