iPhone 16 repeatedly fails to charge after multiple repairs

Dear Sir/Madam,


I am formally escalating my complaint regarding repeated

charging failures in my iPhone 16, purchased on 22 September 2025,

bearing IMEI ***. The same fault has occurred four times,

despite repeated repairs involving replacement of the phone’s mid-section.

I have experienced repeated data loss, disruption to my work

and business, and considerable distress. The latest repair was also carried out

despite my express instructions that I did not want another repair and that I

must be contacted before any corrective action.


The detailed history is provided below.


1. First failure — March 2026

On 9 March 2026, I submitted the phone to Tresor,

Garden Galleria, Noida, after its charging port suddenly stopped working.

The device was returned on 16 March 2026, following replacement of its

mid-section.

This resulted in loss of my data and disruption to my work.

No temporary replacement phone was provided.

2. Second failure — June 2026

The same charging issue occurred again, and I submitted the

device to the same Tresor service centre in June. It was returned on 12 June

2026, again after replacement of the mid-section.

I once again suffered data loss, loss of working time and

inconvenience. The previous repair had clearly failed to provide a lasting

resolution.

3. Third failure — July 2026

When the identical problem recurred in July, I approached a

different service centre, Unicorn, DLF Mall of India, Noida. The device

was accepted and subsequently returned after the same rectification—replacement

of its mid-section.

This caused another round of data loss, disruption to my

business and considerable inconvenience.

4. Fourth failure and repair contrary to my instructions

— September 2026

The same fault appeared again in September, and I visited Tresor,

Garden Galleria, Noida, on 21 September 2026. After the centre identified

the same problem, I expressly stated that I did not want the device sent for

another repair, given the repeated failure of the same remedy.

The staff assured me that the device would first be examined

at the repair centre and that I would be contacted before any corrective

action. On that assurance, I left the device with them.

On 25 September, I contacted Tresor and was informed

that the device was still under diagnosis. During that conversation, I again

made it clear that I did not want another repair.

However, on 28 September, I was informed that the

device had already been repaired and was ready for collection. No prior

approval for this repair was obtained from me, contrary to the assurance given.

I visited the centre but declined to accept the device as a

satisfactory resolution. I requested a new replacement device or another

effective solution because the same repair had repeatedly failed. The centre

refused to offer any alternative.

5. Assurance from Apple Support and failure to follow up

Following this, I contacted Apple Customer Support and spent

approximately one hour discussing the matter with Mr. Rohit, who

identified himself as a senior representative.


During that conversation, he assured me that I would receive

a new replacement device, considering the repeated complaints, and asked

me to wait until 3 October 2026. He also assured me that he would

contact me by that date. I received no promised callback.

My complaint and requested resolution


Four occurrences of the same fault, despite repeated

replacement of the same major component, have seriously undermined my

confidence in this device and the effectiveness of the repair process.


I have followed Apple’s prescribed support channels

throughout. Nevertheless, I have been left repeatedly chasing the service

centre and customer support, without clear ownership, dependable communication

or a lasting solution.
