If you had an Apple Watch Series 1, Series 2, or Series 3 and experienced battery swelling issues, you might have a payment waiting for you. The lawsuit settlement over these battery defects is now being distributed to eligible users. The lawsuit alleged that early Apple Watch models had design defects that caused battery swelling, leading to display detachment from the case.
Apple agreed to a $20 million settlement earlier this year to resolve the claims and avoid further legal proceedings. Users who had reported battery swelling problems to Apple were automatically eligible for payment, and the deadline for filing claims was April 10.
