Apple could face class action lawsuit over Apple Watch defect

Apple Watch broken screen

On other occasions Apple has had to face class action lawsuits that sometimes have come to fruition, although in others, users have had to bear the cost of repairing their devices. A few weeks ago we talked about the problems that they are taking place in the butterfly mechanism that Apple has created for its new MacBooks. 

A mechanism that makes keyboards thinner and therefore computers. It is a very good idea, but for certain users it is not the best because they have suffered jams in the keys that make them not be able to use their computers normally. 

Something similar has been happening with the different models of the Apple Watch And it is that from Series 0 defects began to occur that in some cases Apple has covered but in the case that we want to tell you not. One of the first failures in the Apple Watch It was in the anodizing of the aluminum and I would resign it from the back that with the sweat rose.

Then there were problems with some Series 1 and 2 batteries, but we've never seen watches that suffered from screen detachments. When we speak that they had screen detachments, it is that it was completely divided around its contour, leaving the edge of it stuck to the aluminum frame of the clock and the rest detached. 

Apple knows of this failure in certain units but has not wanted to give its arm to twist as far as it is a problem that all the units they have on the market may suffer. Nevertheless, Now it seems that this fall is taking a lot of importanceor since a very large group of affected users are already proposing to file a new class action lawsuit.

The detachment could be due to the fact that the space between the components and the screen inside the Apple Watch is so small that, no matter how small the increase in the body of the battery due to overheating, the pressures cause the glass to split and the edge of the screen remains stuck and the screen detached.

    It happened to me with a Series 0, I took it to repair even under warranty and they replaced it with a Series 1 without any problem. According to the technician, the cause was that, an increase in heat in the battery, which caused it to swell and displace the screen.

    There is another SW that you know and do not want to solve, already discussed in forums and discussed with Apple technicians: It is that the reminders of the Breathe application do not work (application that they use so much for advertising… ..), check the you want but does not communicate or remember them.
    regards

    I have an Apple Watch series 1 and the screen comes off, when I contacted the technical service (via internet) they told me that since it is more than 3 years old they will replace it with a new one but that it has a cost of € 93 per « battery repair », it is not clear to me that if they assume the replacement accepting a manufacturing defect they will charge you for the battery at a good price.

    It is not possible that a watch that costs so expensive and they handle it like wonder is so bad it is better to have swizos watches that never have that style of failures like detaching the screen by themselves like mine and if that were not enough it is the same with me iPhone X goes crazy, it drills the apps or if you are in one, you upload and download the information alone and leave the App to but of course the cost of the repair is borne by the customer and it is not even cheap I think they have us tricked into capturing customers to sell a status that is a lie I bought them because I thought they were quality now I'm going to put it on the networks so that other people are disappointed and accommodate other products that are of better quality
