Leading the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is the cost of repairing the AirPods . Today, we’ll look at that and other Apple Rumors for Thursday.
AirPod Replacement Cost: AirPods owners that lose or damage their earbuds will have to pony up $69, reports MacRumors. This information comes from the company’s own support page for the device. Losing or damaging one of the AirPods, or the charging station, will have customers paying this full fee. This is the case even if the devices are still under the one-year warranty. Customers that need a battery replacement during the first year can get it done for free. However, once the warranty expires, it will cost $49.
iPhone Passcode: A Florida court is trying to force a man to give up his passcode for his iPhone 5, AppleInsider notes. The man has been accused of voyeurism and police want to search his smartphone. A warrant has been obtained, but the police can’t get beyond the man’s passcode. Previous court cases have treated passcodes as protected under the Fifth Amendment. Despite this, a panel of three judges is arguing that the man must submit his passcode for the device.
Super Mario Run: Today is the launch of Super Mario Run, reports 9to5Mac. The first mobile game made by Nintendo Co., Ltd (ADR) (OTCMKTS:NTDOY) is available for devices running iOS 8 or later.
