In recent weeks there have been some cases of Apple Watch users who have noticed that their watch screen has detached, or that the watch turns off and never turns on again. These are battery problems that are occurring in certain models of Apple Watch Series 2 and that Apple has just recognized by offering a solution.
The problem occurs when the watch's battery fails, and even in some circumstances it swells, causing the screen to peel off or even detach from the watch almost completely. If this is your case, do not worry because the solution offered by Apple is the free repair of your watch. We offer you all the information below.
The problem has been detected only on 42mm models of Apple Watch Series 2, both the Sport models such as the Nike +, Hermés or the steel one. Apple does not say anything about the 38mm models so it seems that that size of Apple Watch Series 2 would be exempt from this problem. Buyers who have detected any of these problems can go to their nearest Apple Store or authorized technical service and their watch will be repaired completely free of charge. Even if they have had to repair their battery previously for this reason, they will get your money back.
Apple says in its internal document that the device's warranty status will not matter. In Europe where the warranty is two years this model is still covered, but in other countries it is only one year, so there would already be models out of warranty. To avoid this has extended coverage to three years If this is the case, then not only will those who have already suffered it be able to benefit from this free repair program, but those who will suffer it in the future will also take advantage of it.
Friends and the first generation Apple Watch if they also expanded the 3-year warranty on the battery or was it rumor?
