Apple has reached a settlement regarding battery swelling issues in older Apple Watch models, including the Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, and the original version. While the company denies any fault, affected users have the opportunity to claim up to $50 as part of the settlement. The lawsuit alleged that these early models experienced battery swelling problems, leading to the settlement agreement. Apple maintains that the Apple Watch is designed to be safe and reliable but agreed to the settlement to avoid further legal disputes. Owners of the mentioned Apple Watch models who reported issues related to battery swelling in the United States could potentially be eligible for compensation from a $20 million fund. Individuals meeting the criteria may receive payments ranging from $20 to $50. Claimants should ensure their payment information is updated to receive the settlement amount automatically. The deadline for opting out of the class action is February 24, 2025. This compensation may not cover the cost of a new Apple Watch but could be sufficient for purchasing high-quality Apple Watch bands.
