Apple India — IPhone 13 display issue after update to 17.1.2

Following the software update to iOS 17.1.2, my iPhone 13's display turned blank with a green line on top.
I visited Apple's authorized service centre, and they are asking for a paid replacement for the display since the device is out of warranty, which cost around RS 30000, even though the issue is due to the software update from Apple. I'm not the first user facing this issue after the software update. Over the past few months, several iPhone 13 users have been facing this issue, and Apple is not ready to address the issues caused from their end and provide support to their customers. To resolve the problem, I request that Apple either provide a free replacement for the display.

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.
