Cracked/Fractured camera lens iPhone 7

Has anyone had an issue with a cracked/fractured/ shattered camera lens on an iPhone 7 after having had no amount of trauma to phone i.e. Dropping it/hitting it with a hammer etc etc. This has happened to me the phone has never ever been dropped or otherwise. It has been kept in a good quality case and has a screen protector on from day of purchase. It's in pristine condition.

I Have seen a blog on line suggesting that the purity of the sapphire used on the iphone7 camera lens is questionable and may be contaminated with other substances and therefore reducing the strength and hardness of the sapphire.

Apple Genuis basically told me it's accidental damage which cannot be repaired as the lens is an integral part of the phone casing. So if I paid £289 I can have a replacement phone. If I had accidentally damaged the phone I would put my hands up and admit it but I have not I am a careful lady owner.


HAS ANYBODY ELSE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.2.1
