Apple will still repair your first-gen Apple
Watch if
it breaks due to battery issues even if it's already older than two years. The
tech titan has extended its wearable's repair coverage related to battery woes
to last two years instead of one, according to a note Apple sent to authorized
repair centers that 9to5mac got
its hands on. If you include its first year with limited warranty, the device's
owners can enjoy three years of coverage, and it's all thanks to a several
reports complaining of batteries ballooning inside their timepieces.
Some posts on Reddit and
on Apple's discussion
board talk about how their first-gen Watches' batteries ballooned and displaced
the screens like what
happened in
the image above. It doesn't seem to
be a huge issue, and we haven't seen anyone claim that their device exploded or
caught fire like Samsung's Galaxy Notes did. Still, it's definitely good to
know Apple can help if anything happens to your smartwatch, especially if you
bought it when it was first released in 2015.
