How about if your gadget gets damaged for some reason and the company repairs it for free. You will be surprised to know that a company is giving this facility to its customers. We’re talking about Apple, which has announced a service repair program for one of its Watch models. Actually, the display of some Watch Series 6 models is reportedly getting permanently blank. Considering this problem to the customers, Apple will repair such Watch Series 6 models for free. On its support website, Apple said that it has “determined that the screen may be permanently blank on a very small percentage of 40mm Apple Watch Series 6 devices.”
According to Apple, the affected devices were manufactured between April 2021 and September 2021.
How to check whether you are eligible for this program or not?
As mentioned above, the service repair program is only for the 40mm Series 6 watch. No other Apple Watch models are part of this program. If you have purchased the Watch Series 6 before April 2021, chances are that you will not be covered under this program. If you are facing this problem if you have 40mm Watch Series 6, then you need to visit Apple’s website. There you have to use the serial number checker to see if your device is eligible for this program. If so, Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will provide the Service for free.

This Worldwide Apple Program does not extend to the standard warranty coverage of your Apple Watch. The program covers eligible Apple Watch Series 6 for two years after the first retail sale of the unit. Apple also notes that they may restrict or limit repairs in the country of origin or region of purchase. However, we did check and the Series 6 users in India were covered under the program.
Apple has not said how long the free service repair program for the Watch Series 6 will last. However, when Apple has run such free service repair programs, they last for some time.
