\tApple offered to replace the screens of some versions of its Watch for free, after discovering a flaw which resulted in cracks forming around the edge of the displays.<\/p>\n
The vendor said the fault was found to occur \u201cunder very rare circumstances\u201d along the rounded edge of the display on aluminium versions of its Series 2 and Series 3 wearable sold from September 2016 to the present day. Repairs will be handled directly by Apple or an authorised repair centre, and will take around five days to complete.<\/p>\n

The vendor said it will equip more independent businesses with the tools to fix broken iPhones, providing them with the \u201csame genuine parts, tools, training, repair manuals and diagnostics\u201d as its authorised service providers.<\/p>\n
The programme will initially be available in the US before being expanded to other countries.<\/p>\n[1] https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Apple_Watch_Crack_1.png<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
