The 5A's have some kind of mass motherboard defect and the warranty was quietly increased to 2 years. I know 2 people who recently went thru a bunch of hurdles (must go to Asurion/ubreakifix to get special request submitted) and got replacement phones sent outside of the extended warranty, because both the phones failed days after the 2 year mark.

My 5a's camera routinely crashes the phone and reboots when attempting to take a photo in bright light conditions (e.g. in broad daylight) -- it's infuriating, google says the phone is out of warranty so apparently I'm SOL.

With Asahi Linux I'm now considering going back to all-Apple hardware after 12 years away.
