| Can't do it until new ones are made. If they announced a problem, people might stop buying their current stock. They will announce the problem when the stores receive a new fixed batch. So they can say all current stock in stores is not effected by the past problems. Then they will setup a plan to replace current ones that will involve weeks or months of waiting for them to make more and only if you ask them to replace it. They are going to hope that most people won't try to replace the phone. And once it's out of warranty they won't have to fix it. So I can imagine the second hand iphone market is now dead. Since you can bet it will be full of unfixed iphones out of warranty. |
