Apple Paying Some Apple Watch Owners Due to Battery Issue
Apple is giving money to some people who own older Apple Watches.
This is because some of these watches had batteries that would swell up and cause problems.
A lawsuit was filed, and Apple agreed to pay up to $20 per watch to owners of Series 1, 2, and 3 watches.
If you own one of these watches, you might get a prepaid card in the mail.
This is part of a settlement where Apple will pay a total of $20 million to resolve this issue.
Apple is disbursing approximately Rs 1,750 or $20 to some Apple Watch users.
Payments result from a US lawsuit settlement regarding swollen batteries in older Apple Watch models.
Affected devices include Apple Watch Series 1, 2, and 3.
Eligible users are receiving prepaid Mastercard cards via email.
A $20 million class-action settlement was agreed upon by Apple.
