Apple is now offering free repairs of 42mm Apple Watch Series 2 models with swollen batteries, reports MacRumors.
"Apple has determined that under certain conditions, some Apple Watch Series 2 devices may not power on or they may experience an expanded battery," the company announced in an internal document distributed to Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers on Friday.
According to the notice, "Apple will service eligible devices free of charge."
Coverage for eligible devices will be authorized for three years after the original date of purchase. The policy is in place for at least the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
Customers looking for a refund on a previously paid Apple Watch Series 2 battery replacement should contact support.
Like I said....NOTHING WILL PROVE IT!!! Very good or bad device is involved with a problem especially worse than this. It's called caring for customers.
By best guess is that it has to be a certain design flaw or reaction that is new to gadgets especially the material used. After all, you learn something new everyday especially when it comes to new technology like no other before which can be breathtaking, but also not perfect which is why it keeps evolving until it gets as perfect as possible.
I don't see your point. You're expecting them to say Shit happens like you want them to sound cruel. Now that is a shitter attitude compared to fixing something for free. Of course it has nothing to do with warranty at all.
:) they F-big do say shit happened to me and all other MacBook owners!!!! When the battery swollen and twist the MacBook chassis they do tell us Shit Happend we can’t do anything!!!!
No it’s not true!!! The least they could do is to design it with space for expanding or some relive valve (which is dangerous) or at least they could do is bolts that snaps under pressure so that the back cover pop-up when the battery slowed!!!
