And it is not the first time that it happens that the Cupertino company has put into circulation an internal document in which they announce to their employees of official stores and official suppliers that the scarce stock of spare parts for a watch model makes the user can take a watch of a superior version home.
In this case, it is about the possible repairs for the Apple Watch Series 3, a really recent model and that we are surprised that Apple runs out of stock of some equipment components, but it is. For now It is unknown what may be the reason why Apple decided to change a Series 3 for a Series 4 although this is happening from today in some of its stores.
The specific model is the Apple Watch Series 3 made of stainless steel
All Apple Watch Series 3s do not benefit from this change and only stainless steel models that have cellular connectivity and integrated GPS would be involved in this type of change. Apple suggests that employees make this change to a model of Apple Watch Series 4 with the same features, cellular connectivity and GPS. Obviously the main beneficiary is the user who takes a much more current model for the same price and without having to pay anything in return.
If you have a stainless steel Apple Watch Series 3 with a problem, do not hesitate and make an appointment at an App Store or authorized service to see if you can benefit from this change. This same month of May an internal note was filtered with the Apple Watch Series 2 similar to this one, but on that occasion the change was made by the Series 3. In this case we are talking about the Series 3 and 4, therefore the user will not have compatibility problems with their iPhone as on that occasion since you could have a Series 2 and an iPhone 5 or 5C working and with the Series 3 they do not work. Before this, something similar happened with users of the Series 1 with problems and Apple changed them for the series 2, something that happens frequently due to the end of stock of watch parts.
