Apple Settles Class-Action Lawsuit Over Apple Watch Battery Problems
A legal case has been settled involving the batteries in older models of the Apple Watch. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleged that batteries in the first-generation, Series 1, Series 2, and Series 3 devices could expand within their tight compartments, leading to malfunctioning. Despite Apple’s denial of any wrongdoing, the tech giant chose to settle the matter.
Apple has maintained that the Apple Watch "is designed to be safe and reliable." In a statement, the company noted that the settlement pertains to those who purchased original and earlier models of the Apple Watch, which are no longer available for purchase. "While we strongly disagree with the claims," Apple said, "we agreed to settle to avoid further litigation."
