What is an appropriate reason to grant a support exception?

The correct answer is that a customer asking about the latest iOS within 30 days of its release is an appropriate reason to grant a support exception.

This scenario typically involves a situation where the customer may be encountering issues that relate directly to a recent update or new features introduced with the latest version of the software. Customers often seek clarification or support regarding new functionalities or potential problems that arise shortly after an update. In this context, providing timely and relevant assistance not only helps the customer but also promotes better user experiences and supports Apple's commitment to customer satisfaction.

In contrast, while complaints about service delays, requests to upgrade devices, or inquiries about service charges are valid concerns, they do not fall within the category of support exceptions that warrant immediate attention. Such matters may require regular operational processes to resolve rather than a support exception, which is typically reserved for more urgent or specific issues directly linked to new updates or changes in service.
