If you have an iPhone or Apple Watch, you should know this. Your warranty has just been updated.. Apple has informed its stores and authorized repairers that they must update their repair policies during the warranty period. And no, the changes are not good at all. The Cupertino company held downgrade in each rule, what makes users lose an agreement that has historically been free.
What is it about? How can we read in 9to5mac, Apple has stopped repairing “single microcracks” under warranty on iPhone and Apple Watch. What are they? The translation has several possibilities, but we understand that we are talking about ‘microcracks‘ that may appear on the screen.
For years, Apple has repaired these small cracks for free as long as your iPhone or Watch is under warranty. and so far there are no signs of falls or shocks on the device. In fact, the cracks should be simple and not have a clear zone of rupture resulting from “pecking”.
This may seem extremely strange, but surprisingly Apple adhered to this policy until yesterday. Although the guarantee This is necessary to cover manufacturing defects.If your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac has one of these “hairline cracks”, you can go to the Apple Store and buy change screen for free.

Above we told you what it is Free warranty repairs are also available for iPad and Mac.. And so it remains. For now, the update only affected the iPhone and Apple Watch, but not the other two devices on the list.

It’s unusual to think that if you caused a crack in your screen, Apple would repair it for free, so users had to simply ignore it and not even ask at the company’s stores. Surely many are now regretting that they did not read that small warranty booklet that came with the iPhone.
